Nice piece of history! We enjoyed walking here to view the house and gardens when we were doing a walking tour of Stockbridge. Fascinating to read about the history. Free to tour around the small garden area. We did not tour the house.

Lovely place to stop by for a little bit while in Stockbridge, enjoy the smells of flowers, the shade from the trees, learn a bit of history. Don’t forget to check out the tiny little library! Bring books to trade.

Mission House is an interesting place to check out in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The house itself is an old building that was originally built with the intention of spreading Christianity to the Mahican people living there. There is an herbal garden as soon as you walk into the fenced area, and there are two buildings people are allowed to go into. Inside one, there was a display of what the house may have looked like using old furniture and such. Some items have descriptions such as where they came from or the date of the item. The second building serves as a small museum for the native people, that were here before the Europeans invaded the land. There was a lot of useful information on poster boards that were displayed on the walls inside. I especially found the timeline to be fascinating. There were also some cool pamphlets available to take, such as one containing recipes for making local foods. When I went, it was free to enter, though that may be because we went on a "field trip" for my work. I would recommend checking out Mission House to learn more about the local history in the Berkshires.
