Shadow Brook Farm Historic District

Shadow Brook Farm Historic District contains six repurposed farm buildings surrounded by traditional agricultural landscapes and gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

The property, constructed in 1893 for Anson Phelps Stokes, later belonged to industrialist Andrew Carnegie who owned it until his death in 1919.

The district preserves examples of late 19th-century agricultural practices and architectural designs that reflect the development of Massachusetts farming communities.

Visitors can explore the grounds of Berkshire Country Day School, which acquired the campus from the Stokes family in 1963.

The district's name originates from author Nathaniel Hawthorne's reference to a small stream flowing along the western and southern boundaries.
