Museum
The house is now a non-profit historic house museum operated by the Berkshire County Historical Society, which uses a portion of the house as their office. The remainder is open to the public for guided tours for part of the year. It is located at 780 Holmes Road.
Arrowhead was also included in an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. This was one of the only times a Pittsfield landmark has ever been included on national television.
