BerkshireCountystyle WELCOME TO BERKSHIRE COUNTY.... The Berkshires are a beautiful year-round resort destination in Western Massachusetts, featuring scenic hills and mountains, lovely rivers and lakes, and numerous recreational activities and cultural attractions. Known for its relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle, creative energy, world-class artisans, organic farms and markets and wonderful restaurants serving farm-to-table and ethnic cuisines, this area draws a wide range of highly-accomplished and progressive year-round and seasonal residents from around the globe. Popular events include summer performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra among others at Tanglewood Music Center, theatre at Shakespeare & Company, and the country’s longest running dance festival, Jacob’s Pillow. Ski enthusiasts can explore the various resorts in the Berkshires including Ski Butternut, Catamount and Jiminy Peak. Those who enjoy nature often visit the area for its stunning park and forest land as well as its many hiking trails, including Bartholomew’s Cobble, Bash Bish Falls, Monument Mountain and Race Brook Falls, along the Appalachian Trail. The region is also host to several exceptional restaurants, boutiques and antique shops, art museums and studios, including MassMOCA and the Norman Rockwell Museum, and historic mansions and gardens, such as Edith Wharton’s The Mount, Ventfort Hall and other famed Berkshire Cottages. The town of Great Barrington, often referred to as the region’s cultural hub, was recently named by Smithsonian Magazine as the Best Small Town in America. From hosting the first open and armed resistance to British rule in America to starting the nation’s first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program to minting its own currency (called BerkShares), this is a small town that makes a big impact. No wonder it attracts such a diverse and engaged population. Just over a two-hour drive from New York and Boston, this ideal rural getaway offers all the amenities of a big city with the pastoral beauty of the country. Rich in history, the quaint towns throughout the Berkshires feature fine properties and grand estates, as well as rustic cottages, that can serve as full-time residences or as weekend retreats. Come explore the Berkshire mountains and rivers, music and museums, food and culture that have beckoned multitudes for generations. Welcome to sophisticated country living at its best here in the Berkshires.
