    Open til 4, the 3 pm guided 50 minute tour was a perfect after lunch/pre dinner activity. We learned a lot about his life. It was lovely to sit on his porch and gaze at Mt. Greylock. Many of the families actual objects, paintings and furniture. Good to support the Berkshire Historical Society.

    Loved the place. Thanks to our superb tour guide, Marilyn, I earned a new appreciation for Herman Melville!

    Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Had an interesting and descriptive Tour. The price is a bit high given the short length of the tour.

    Amazing that today we speak of Moby Dick almost in hushed tones, and back then, no one wanted anything to do with it.

    We had a wonderful half day tour of the Catskills and Westside of the Hudson Valley with Seth in…read morehis fully restored vintage Land Rover, "Marianne". We drove the winding roads through the scenic mountain towns of Tannersville, Jewett and Windham. After a delicious lunch of authentic Polish food and a stroll in Catskill, Seth brought us to Left Bank Cider for a tasting flight. I don't know if we would have found half the places we visited if we had gone on our own! The Land Rover itself was great. The seats are set up like stadium seating, allowing for unimpaired sightseeing as we drove; our ride was safe, comfortable and smooth. We have never ridden in anything like it before. Heads turned whenever we drove by! What made the tour even better was Seth's knowledge of the area and his ability to tell a great story. Highly recommended.

    The city's first cemetery and next to the city's first church that was built in 1636, the earliest…read moresurviving gravestone dates to 1648 for Timothy Stanley who died that year. Not very well organized or linear and that's because the custom of those days was that burials were placed randomly. Gravediggers would use metal rods to locate a vacant spot as needed. When available space began to be an issue, bodies were stacked atop one another. In the process, grave markers became misplaced or destroyed. The burying ground became a crowded site of decay, with over 6,000 corpses in the cemetery. As early as 1712, a church meeting house was built on top of several grave sites. This was seen as an honor for those buried beneath, as the custom in England was to bury honored personalities within churches. By the 1890s, several structures had been built upon what was meant to be burial plots. Coffins were unearthed, bones were dug up. Some were reburied. Others were not so lucky and were carted off to the dump. In general, the cemetery was not actively used for burials and became neglected. Gold Street was but a mere 16-foot-wide alleyway lined in a slum. Efforts were made in the late 19th and 20th centuries to clean up the area, widen Gold Street, install an iron fence around the perimeter of the cemetery and generally keep the area maintained. The cemetery is open to the public for walking but gravestone rubbing is absolutely prohibited and this is noted on the rules posted at the entrances. There is a display with brochures that explains the gravestone art of the days, the history of the cemetery and a route for a self-guided tour of the cemetery.
