Arrowhead (1780) was the home of American author Herman Melville during his most productive years from 1850-1863. In this house Melville wrote his best work: the novels Moby-Dick, (dedicated to nearby Mount Greylock), The Confidence-Man, and Israel Potter; a collection of short stories entitled The Piazza Tales and including "I and My Chimney," "Benito Cereno," "Bartleby the Scrivener," and "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids"; all his magazine stories; and some of his poetry. It is now a non-profit museum operated by the Berkshire County Historical Society, and located at 780 Holmes Road, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
