  While in the Berkshires visit this hidden gem, the home of American Abstract Artists George L.K. Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen, set on a 46-acre estate in Lenox, Massachusetts. View their amazing modern home built in 1941 to celebrate “the liberation of artistic language” through abstract art.
  This part of the amazing Historic Artists Homes and Studios Collection featuring 55 locations throughout the USA.

  Built in 1941, this bespoke house is unique and an excellent example of art deco architecture. It’s another opportunity to step into the past and into the world of a glamorous couple of artists who had the means to build their own bit of chic paradise and collect important works.
  
  The tour includes a few rooms of the first floor, with original furnishings and art, and access to the large artist’s studio attached to the house. The artist’s studio occasionally hosts art exhibitions.
  
  The docents are extremely knowledgeable and kind. They are very happy to help make your time there very enjoyable and are happy to answer questions.
  
  Mobility issues — be aware that the parking lot is a long way from the house, so be ready for a hike through the woods to reach the house itself. Docents with golf carts were available at each end of the road when I was there, so you should be able to get a lift and enjoy a gorgeous ride through the Berkshires forests.
  
  The house itself can be enjoyed without the need to climb stairs, and there is a folding chair or two in the foyer if you need to sit. If you don’t see any, do ask a docent.
  
  Overall I would say it’s a challenge for those with mobility issues but not impossible.
  
  I don’t think this would be ideal for kids unless they are really into art and architecture. There is nowhere to bring a stroller and no public bathroom here, and no concession for snacks or drinks. There is not a kids’ version of the tour and it may ask a lot of their legs and their patience.
  
  This would be an ideal place for a date or to visit on your own. The whole experience is tranquil, beautiful, and contemplative.
  
  The place is a wonderful combination of art and nature. Tucked away as it is, it has a magical quality. The house has been kept in exactly the same condition as when it was built, so there is no whiff of the outside world once you arrive at the house. Art deco architecture was known for innovative approaches to designing the shape and flow of the rooms, and there is plenty to appreciate here.
  
  It’s best to go in fine weather, especially if you plan to hike from the parking lot to the house.
  
  Purchase tickets online ahead of time - you will need them to even enter the park, and the docent on hand will ask to see your ticket. The parking lot has a shaded area where visitors can sit and wait for a cart ride.
  
  There are no concessions: bring your own water and have sone snacks in the car if you like a nibble. Food isn’t allowed on the tour. I was very grateful I had my water jar with me after the hike to the house.
  
  I’ll happily visit again, this time with a better sense of what to bring and what to expect.

  If you have any interest in American art history, the F-M House is a must-visit when in the Berkshires. It’s very close to Tanglewood. The house itself is fascinating to see. It is FrankLloydWrightish modern, reflecting the creative ambitions of these two dedicated artists. Even if you usually give a wide berth to cubist art, this house and studio are worth a visit. Don’t miss the introductory film, which puts this pair of sophisticated artists in perspective. And the grounds and the views of the Berkshires are delectable.

  Go here. Trust me. If you have any interest in art, and maybe even if you don’t, you’ll be fascinated by this place. It’s beautiful, and their story is quirky and amazing.

  I live across the street from Freylinghuysen and I will leave it to their website and other reviewers to comment on the collection. I'd just like to add that the grounds are spectacular. The entrance is less than a quarter mile from Tanglewood. Come early one day and walk these pristine woods, enjoy the eclectic collection of art, and take a long look at the sculpture of the subject with a tricorn hat. You'll find it on a side path north of the main entrance road. It's haunted.
