Mission House - John Sergeant, first missionary to the Stockbridge Indians, built this simple frame house for his bride, Abigail, in 1739. According to legend, its striking Connecticut doorway was brought to Stockbridge by ox-team over a wilderness trail. The road forms the connecting link of the State highway from Boston to New York and the West and opens to automobilists a section of the beautiful parts of the Berkshire Hills, which were up to this time, inaccessible on account of the heavy grades. The mountain is 1,735 feet at its peak, overlooking the hills and valleys of southern Berkshire County. Three miles of trails lead through the canopy forest of white pine and oaks with tulip trees, maples, chestnut saplings and mountain laurel.
Rock outcrops hide small caves and several streams wind through the forest.
