The museum at Mission House with the mini exhibit on the history of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians was among the best I have visited. The information was eye-opening, concise, and written in plain language. The space was well-lit and easy to navigate. In contrast, Mission House itself was dimly lit and narrow, with rooms visible only behind dirty plexiglass. The entire Mission House complex is free and open to the public from sunrise to sunset during the spring, summer, and fall. The gardens are open all year. Both the Stockbridge-Munsee museum and the furniture displayed at Mission House are on the ground floor. The museum is wheelchair accessible, while the house requires a step up to enter the building. Parking is available on street in the lot across the street from the cemetery about a quarter mile down a paved sidewalk.

Mission House is a colonial era house built by John Sergeant in 1742. Today the house is easy to spot in downtown Stockbridge. The house has nice gardens that are well taken care of. There is plenty of signage outside the house explaining the history of the house and of the Mohican tribe. As nice as this house the times you can go inside are rather limited. The house is open Thursdays-Sunday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It is nice to be able to see the outside the of the house, however it should be open to the public more often. Seeing that many other historic houses, museums, and attractions in the Berkshires are open much longer, this one should join them as well. The Mission House loses a great opportunity to educate by having such a short season. Make sure to call ahead for hours if looking for a guided tour or to go in the house.

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.
