Estate of Mind's inaugural freaky fundraiser

Estate of Mind

120 Hill St
Whitinsville, MA 01588

Estate of Mind was an intentional co-living community for artists that operated out of Oakhurst Manor in Whitinsville, MA, a storied Victorian manor complex on 25-acres. We ware collectively restoring, revitalizing, and reanimating this historic event venue with the shared goal of creating a sanctuary for the arts.

Our goal was to be able to house up to an additional 20 artists in the winter, and to keep our event space accessible to the community year round. To make this happen, we needed to finish some critical infrastructure upgrades to the manor. Frightinsville was a fundraiser, and we asked for our extended community's spreading the word about this creepy car-bound experience, and making this vision possible.

What happened? Why isn't Frightinsville coming back?

Our community and home - this beautiful historic property - were destroyed in a tragic fire on March  1st, 2023. No one was injured, no lives were lost, but most of us lost everything, and have had to disperse and rebuild individually. Read more about it here.
