Historic New England's Merwin House

Planning a visit to the Berkshires this summer or fall? Be sure to add a tour of Merwin House to your itinerary!

William and Elizabeth Doane purchased this elegant late Federal-style house in 1875 as their summer retreat. At the time, Stockbridge was emerging as one of the Berkshires' most popular destinations, attracting visitors seeking fresh air, beautiful scenery, and a respite from city life.

Step inside and discover the stories of the families who spent their summers here while exploring one of New England's most picturesque regions.
