Skinner Museum Property

[Skinner Museum Property]

History

The Skinner Museum Property was purchased by the College in 1946. It is a complex of four buildings from the town of Prescott, which had been flooded to form Quabbin Reservoir. They house artifacts collected by Mr. Skinner and, in the school house, an ornithological collection. I had no images of the Skinner Museum Property in my collection, so I took the above photo, and this one, on September 7, 1998. I have since found postcard images of the Skinner Museum.
