The Blake Center’s 100-acre campus is situated in the Connecticut River Valley between Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. Its bucolic grounds include ponds, wooded walking trails, and many ornamental structures of architectural interest. The crowning jewel of the property is an exterior replica of Thomas Jefferson’s neo-classical home Monticello where Hillsdale College hosts lectures, seminars, conferences, and retreats.
