Ashley-Falls is a small, historic town located in the southwest portion of the state, near the Connecticut border. It is just south of the city of Sheffield along Highway 7 in the scenic Berkshires of Massachusetts. The population of Ashley Falls is approximately 750 residents. Ashley Falls is home to the Colonel John Ashley House built in 1735 by French and Indian War veteran John Ashley. This house is said to be the oldest complete house in the Berkshires and is designated a National Historic Landmark. It is beautifully decorated in Colonial period furnishings and features a broad fireplace and staircase, hand carvings and many ornaments and decorations of the period. Ashley was a patriotic revolutionary, and on this site in 1773 he helped draft the famous Sheffield Declaration, boldly berating the British Parliament - three full years before Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Also of interest nearby is Bartholomew's Cobble, where more than 800 species of rare and endangered plants and over 250 species of birds can be found on over 270 acres of lush forest, fields and meadows on a foundation of hard quartzite rock. Bartholomew's Cobble is a National Natural Landmark Museum and makes a lovely picnicking spot.
