The former home of Herman Melville is one of the many gems in the Berkshires area of Massachusetts. This home screams of Melville, from its view of Mount Greylock to the fireplace inscribed with some of his prose to the very room where he composed "Moby-Dick."
Much of the home's furnishings are original but I was more interested in Melville himself and his writing. The guide rushed us through, oftentimes not even waiting for all of us to get into the next room before she started talking. In fact, I purposely stayed behind in Melville's office for a while; the rest of the group went downstairs. She didn't seem to notice but I caught up anyway. Still, it's a landmark of American literature so if you're in the area, do drop in. The barn has a rotating exhibit space which was quite interesting (and quiet when we went in).
