Freeman's Grove Historic District is one of the oldest neighborhoods in North Adams, and was developed in the late 19th century. Today it is mostly known to be the location of Mass MoCA, Porches Inn, Studio 9, Sanford & Kid Antiques, Uno Park and others. Parking is available in front of the garage towards the middle of the Estate. Most North Adams attractions (Mass MoCA or anything downtown) are within a very comfortable walking distance (5 minutes or less). The local grocery store and adjacent pharmacies are equally walkable. Driving is generally the easiest way to travel between towns, i.e. if you want to visit the Clark Institute in Williamstown, or to go hiking. Important note for extra large parties (weddings at Mass MoCA, family reunions etc.): yes, it is possible to rent out the small mansion in its entirety (both units) depending on dates and availability, please send us an inquiry for more details.
