Built beginning in 1744 on {{convert|150|acre|ha}} of land, it is one of the best-preserved farmsteads of the period in Berkshire County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] The property is owned by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and is named the Kellogg Conservation Center.[3] Description and historyThe Westover–Bacon–Potts Farm is located in a rural setting of southeastern Egremont, on {{convert|150|acre|ha}} roughly bisected by Undermountain Road, bounded on the north by Warner Road and the south by the right-of-way of the Appalachian Trail. The farmstead is located on the wesst side of the road, with the farmhouse facing east. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The rear roof face extends to the first floor, giving the house a classic saltbox profile. The house is accompanied by several 19th-century farm outbuildings, as well as a 20th-century garage.[2] Land for the farm was purchased in 1744 by Jonah Westover, who built the house that now stands on the property. In the 1790s the property was purchased by Elijah Bacon, in whose family it remained until 1965. In the intervening years little was done to modernize the house. The 1965 purchasers, the Goldricks, were antique dealers with connections in the historic preservation community, and made some modernization of the property, sensitive to its historic integrity. Later owners have continued the practice of sensitive updating to the house, which remains one of the best-preserved 2 1/2 story houses in Egremont.[3] Mary-Margaret Kellogg in 2004 donated her home "April Hill" and 95 acres to the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC).[4] The property now serves as the regional offices of the ATC and the Appalachian Mountain Club.[5] See also
