Located approximately
1 mile south of the center of Williamstown on Route 7, at a gravel driveway
on its west side, the former Rosenburg Farm, locally known as Sheep
Hill, offers dramatic views of the valley and surrounding mountains.
The WRLF now owns and preserves this property, formerly a family farm
and ski area for the town and Williams College. Two short walks traverse
the hillside meadow, providing a pleasant way to enjoy viewing the dramatic
scenery and numerous flora and fauna. Both trails begin from the collection
of old farm buildings. Rosenburg Ramble begins north of the farm
buildings, looping around the entire property for approximately 1- 1/2
miles. Several parking areas have been put in at the top of the hillside
and are accessible from Bee Hill Road where the panoramic views of the
Greylock range are dramatic in all seasons. The Rosenburg Ramble terminates
south of the farm buildings, where the Meadow Walk begins. The
Meadow Walk is a short, easy way to enjoy the views of Sheep Hill, and
loops around the pond at the lower area of the hillside.
