Ross Farm

123 Meadow St
Florence, MA 01062

Ross Farm in Northampton, MA is a historic farmhouse with a rich past, serving as the site of a utopian community from 1841 to 1845 and playing a role in the Underground Railroad. Built in 1825, the farmhouse retains many original features and stands on a reduced 2.25-acre parcel.

Under the ownership of the Ross family, the property saw the addition of outbuildings like a hay barn and a tobacco drying barn, contributing to its historical significance.
