The Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony includes 300 acres and 30 buildings on the south slope of Mount Guardian in Woodstock, New York. Walking tours are conducted regularly during the summer, and visitors can access a map here. Printed brochures with map and building descriptions are available at the Byrdcliffe Barn and Theatre. (For a more challenging hike, visitors can take the Aileen B. Cramer memorial hiking trail to the summit of Guardian.) This page includes some of the historic buildings you will see as you walk the mountainside.  Click on thumbnail to see a larger image.
