Trustees of Reservations
The Trustees of Reservations in Sheffield, MA, are dedicated to preserving important historical sites, including the Colonel John Ashley House, closely linked to the legacy of Elizabeth Freeman, an enslaved woman who fought for her freedom in 1781. This historic site serves as a profound reminder of the fight against slavery in Massachusetts and offers visitors an opportunity to explore the transformative impact of Freeman's story on American history.
In addition to guided tours of the Ashley House, the Trustees provide seasonal exhibits, hiking opportunities across diverse landscapes, and community events that celebrate local history and cultural heritage. The organization aims to educate the public about the intertwined histories of land, people, and social justice through its programs and resources.
