Directions: |
Holiday Farm is located in Dalton, MA, right off of route 9.
From the West: Routes 7 intersects the beginning of Route 9 at the Park Square rotary in the center of Pittsfield. Bear right on to Route 9 (East Street) and continue east through the mothballed GE plant(William Stanley Business park now). Continue East on Route 9 (Bears to the left-Merrill Rd) past Burger King, straight through the lights at the Super Stop & Shop and bear right at the next set of lights - Pizza Hut on your immediate right. Follow Route 9 & 8 (Route 8 joined Route 9 at this intersection) past Berkshire Crossings (shopping center off to right over river w/ Price Chopper, Wal-Mart and Staples) and the Crane & Co. Old Government Mill, cross Dalton Town Line, and bear left at the next intersection in front of the Crane & Co. main office. this is keeping you on Rt 9. Route 9 & 8 pass through the center of Dalton then divide again after the Cumberland Farms. Route 9 bears left (hard left turn - if you go over a river you have gone to far), running through a residential part of town. After 1.5 miles the landscape becomes agricultural. The Moody Energy sign (which is lit) is on the right about 200 yards in front of Holiday Cottage Road. There is a Holiday Farm sign directly across from the entrance. The sign is on the right, the road is on the left. Holiday Cottage Road crosses a bridge, passes the barnyard and ends at the Cottage. The parking will be at the entrance of the Farm.
From the Mass pike: Take the Lee exit off the Mass Pike. Take Route 20 north to Pittsfield. Route 7 joins Route 20 in Lenox and they both continue north to Pittsfield where Route 20 divides and goes west. Follow Route 7 one more block to Park Square and bear right onto East Street (Route 9). Then follow the directions above.
From the East: Route 2 intersects I 91 to the north of Route 9 (Northampton) and the Mass Pike intersects I 91 to the south of Route 9.
From either direction take the Route 9 exit off of I 91 and go straight across the intersection with Route 9 at the bottom of the ramp. Follow this road straight through the next intersection and for another 1.5 miles until it reconnects with Route 9 by bearing to the right. Follow Route 9 for 25 miles through Williamsburg, over the small town of Goshen, down into the Westfield River valley and Cummington, up to Windsor and down the mountain to Dalton. At the bottom of the long hill look for a small sign on the left saying Wahconah Falls State Park just before a big field. Holiday Cottage Road is a .5 mile on the right. The Holiday Farm sign is directly across from the entrance. If you get to the American Legion or a Yield sign you have gone to far.
