Chesterwood - Glendale, MA

A view of the studio from the house

Chesterwood is the home and studio of sculptor Daniel French who created the statue of Abraham Lincoln in the  Lincoln Memorial and is a National Trust Historic Site. We toured the museum, studio and home the day we were there and would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area.
Sculpture along the woodland trail


French also designed and added a woodland walk to his property that begins near the barn and loops around a portion of the property and includes contemporary sculptures all along the trail. The trail is well maintained and an easy walk. The day we were there we were the only ones on the trail and it was quite beautiful and serene.
