MACRIS OF THE MONTH

Despite its rather wonky moniker, Macris files are accessible, fascinating and dare we say fun. Adding and revising Macris listings is one of EHCs major mandates and Elisabeth Wood, (EHC commission member, town historian and Macris wrangler) attempts to add or revise up to 20 listings a year. Reach out if you have a historic Egremont residence you’d like us to consider adding to our town’s listings. And go to the MACRIS website to check out our featured listing or check on your own residence. Click the learn more button to go the MACRIS website.

This months feature, 10 Prospect Lake Road was built by Henry David Chapman, quite a fascinating character, and the subsequent owners reveal much about Egremont’s history.
