Pettibone Farm

Location
  
Lanesborough, Massachusetts

Pettibone Farm is a historic farm on Old Cheshire Road north of the junction with Nobodys Road in Lanesborough, Massachusetts. It was the farmstead of Jonathan Pettibone, a leader of Lanesborough during the American Revolution. Pettibone purchased the property in 1768, and it remained in his family until 1865, when it was sold to Ira Jenks. The Jenks family owned it into the 20th century, when, after a succession of owners, it was acquired by the Schulman family. The Schulmans operate Camp Mohawk on the property.

The centerpiece of the property is the farmhouse, which was built by Jonathan Pettibone, and went through numerous alterations in the 19th century, albeit without sacrificing much of its original Georgian and Federal period character. The farm complex, including the farmhouse and a number of mostly 19th century outbuildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
