The Berkshire Industrial Farm, (previously known as the Burnham Industrial Farm) in Canaan, New York, was a rural residential facility for troubled young men from the New York area in the late 19th Century. It operated under the name Berkshire Industr ial Farm from 1886-1959, after which it became known as the Berkshire Centre for Boys and, in 1974, changed its name to the modern day Berkshire Farm Center and Service for Youth."
