Butler Sculpture Park - Sheffield, Massachusetts

What an amazing adventure! To start off, please take note that the driveway leading to the park is quite steep and has a few ruts, so it's probably best to use a 4X vehicle.
Once you arrive at the location, it might be a tad confusing at first due to somewhat faded signage. However, after a quick walk around, we figured out where to park and how to proceed.

The woodland location is absolutely fantastic! You'll come across a few buildings; one of them houses some stunning sculptures, while the other two serve as residences and studio workspaces. It's a private residence, however, we didn't encounter anyone. We enjoyed strolling through the woods to find a clearing and discovered many pieces.

All in all, it was an incredibly enjoyable visit, and we highly recommend it! #madrosegallery

An amazing park with an incredibly welcoming and talented host who showed us around his property. Would highly recommend.

I am actually shocked that no one mentions how dangerous the entrance to this sculpture park is! We were driving our Jeep Gladiator up this extremely steep, unpaved, narrow, pothole-ridden path and I was praying that our vehicle wouldn’t tip over and roll down the mountain. If you have a standard front wheel drive vehicle, you are definitely going to leave car parts behind on the way up. I’m willing to bet that the sculptor uses abandoned car parts to make more sculptures! On another note, I’ve visited many sculpture parks and this one is okay...not a favorite. All sculptures here are abstract and some are more interesting than others. The atmosphere is peaceful and I agree with others that they need to improve their signage for better visitor communication.

The park is the best hidden treasure. Beautiful sculptures by Robert Butler in the great nature setting. If you're lucky, the artist himself will welcome you and show you around. Mr. Butler is incredibly interesting and informative person. If you just want to hang out on your own that is also an option. The admission is free!

The entrance is very steep and rutted. Don't take a nice car. The artist is a strange guy. One minute he is friendly and the next he is curt and rude. Quirky is the best description. Been there, won't go back.

We visited this tranquil garden last weekend. This is a really interesting and unique place. Meeting the sculptor and listening to his experience was a plus. Don't miss the sculptures inside the workshop and on the deck.

Me and my girlfriend passed the park enterence yesturday so we were naturally interested because the butler sculpture park is close to my home and i have never visited it before. We did our research online, and read that it was free admission, free parking and it is open 7 days a week. After reading this, why wouldn't i want to go and check it out? So today i picked my girlfriend up at work and we took off for the sculpure park. When we got there we signed in, read the information, took a picture of the map and started walking the path. We walked around for a little while and were enjoying the sculpures and the beautiful day. We then were towards the end of the path and the map took us next to a building where there were a few sculpures. We then heard someone behind us yell "its rude not to introduce yourselves!" We didnt know how to take it at first and we thought he was joking, but then we realized he wasnt at all.. and mind you, we had no idea this guy was even there, he kind of snuck up on us and startled us a bit. He then proceeded to yell at us about how we could be "sneaking around the building" when the map clearly takes you next to this building.. we apologized repeatedly and he kept telling us to "leave! Just drive down the hill!" This was a pretty terrible expirience and i am still upset about it..
