William Cullen Bryant Homestead, 207 Bryant Rd, Cummington, MA 01026, US

Mountain Rest in Goshen, Massachusetts, is a historic religious summer retreat that was established in the early 20th century to provide a sanctuary for Christian missionaries on furlough and as a training ground for future missionaries. The camp, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, closed in 1970 and was later converted into condominiums in 1987. Surrounded by the scenic Berkshires, Mountain Rest features a cluster of wood-frame buildings, including the notable Scudder Hall and Avery Cottage, which served as key structures within the community. Founded by missionary physician Dr. George Dowkontt on land donated by state senator Alvan Barrus, the camp played a significant role in supporting missionary activities and fostering knowledge exchange among attendees until the decline in American missionary efforts led to its closure.Generated from the website
