Hill Ross Homestead houses 3 residential units and 2 workshops. As there are other tenants who share this 2+ acre property and we ask all our guests to be courteous of one another while enjoying its peaceful, park-like setting along the Mill River. The Historic Hill-Ross Farm is listed on the National Historic Registry for being a stop along the Underground Railroad, along with other attributes. Hill-Ross Homestead features a 19th-century farmhouse (circa 1820)- the home for two important figures in the abolitionist movement, Samuel Lapham Hill and Austin Ross. Samuel Hill purchased the farm in 1841 from the Northampton Silk Company. In 1842, Hill and others founded the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, an organization with strong abolitionist views. The Association chose to locate in the Broughton’s Meadow (now Florence) section of Northampton due to the community’s thriving silk industry. Free laborers, rather than enslaved workers, produced silk, increasing the industry’s popularity among abolitionists. The Association’s property, including the Hill-Ross Farm, provided a store, school, common eating area and living space for its members. Because of the strong presence of the Association and silk manufacturers, Northampton became a haven for African Americans and abolitionists. Northampton proper often served as a stop for fugitive slaves traveling to Canada, and Association members encouraged fugitives’ permanent settlement. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Biodegradable coffee stirrers available - Biodegradable drinking straws available - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 2,900 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92010000/92006700/92006651/827681ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic downtown apartment.
