E. F. Schumacher Society | Directions to Library and Office The street address of the E. F. Schumacher Society Office and Library building is 140 Jug End Road, South Egremont, Massachusetts. This should not be confused with our mailing address which is 140 Jug End Road, Great Barrington, Massachusetts. South Egremont is a small town on the New York State border just west of Great Barrington, approximately a two and one-half hour drive north of New York City and a three hour drive west of Boston. The nearest airport is Bradley International in Windsor Locks, Connecticut about a 75 minute drive. The Albany, New York airport is about an 80 minute drive away. Amtrak trains come to Hudson, New York, about 25 minutes by car from South Egremont. A bus from New York City's Port Authority bus terminal travels to Great Barrington twice a day. Driving directions from the New York City region: Follow Route 22 or the Taconic Parkway north to Route 23, Hillsdale/Claverack, New York. Turn right, or east, onto Route 23. Travel along 23, going up Catamount Mountain and passing the ski area on the right As you head down the other side of the mountain you will be entering Massachusetts. Heading down you will note two orange signs on the left marking the location of John Andrews Restaurant. The next right will be Jug End Road. Travel about 2 miles, passing Indian Line Farm on the left, to the crossroads with Mt. Washington Road. Stop and look both ways before crossing, it is a bad intersection. Proceed for about another mile, passing the Jug End Reservation on your right. You will come to a small incline. As it begins to level out you will see a large sign on a tree on your right announcing "E. F. Schumacher Society." The number is 140 Jug End. Proceed up the steep dirt drive. Please park in the visitor parking lot by the shed. The upper lot is reserved for residents of the site. The large building by the parking area is the Library. The entrance is from the south or upper side. Please call before you visit so that we can schedule staff time with you. (413) 528-1737. Thank you for this consideration E. F. Schumacher Society |
