EDITOR’S NOTE

Take your seats: A revolutionary summer is about to begin

This July 4th, our country celebrates the semiquincentennial — the 250th anniversary — of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. We here, in Massachusetts and the Berkshires, have been celebrating for over a year now, marking the events leading up to and the start of the Revolutionary War in Lexington and Concord.

In Concord, you can find The Minute Man, an iconic 7-foot-tall bronze statue made by Daniel Chester French in 1874. The statue, of a colonial farmer-soldier, was cast from 10 bronze Civil War cannons condemned by Congress and melted down in Chicopee. French, who was only 23 when he began the sculpture, would later go on to create the colossal Seated Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. You can view a reproduction of the Maquette of the Seated Lincoln (seen on the cover) and several other versions at Chesterwood, French’s summer estate and studio, in Stockbridge. This summer, you can also view a special exhibit highlighting his work on The Minute Man.

You’ll have ample opportunities to celebrate the nation’s founding, including a special exhibition, “American Stories: From Rockwell to the Revolution” at the Norman Rockwell Museum, James Taylor’s concerts on July 3 and 4 at Tanglewood, as well as several special screenings and performances of “1776.” One special treat is a talk by Pulitzer-winning author and Adams native Stacy Schiff at

The Adams Theater on June 20. Schiff will discuss the fiery origins of Samuel Adams, the town’s namesake and the focus of her book, “The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.” The conversation with Sara Houghtling is a homecoming for the author and a special keynote of the MA250 Festival. You’ll find myriad 250 events peppered throughout the calendars that follow.

And not to worry, the calendars are full of exciting activities and exhibitions.

In June, The Clark Art will open a special presentation of the Aso O. Tavitian Collection, “An Exquisite Eye,” an introductory look at some of the works bequeathed to the museum by the late collector, philanthropist and Berkshires resident. The collection of over 300 works will go on display in 2028 when the museum opens its new Aso O. Tavitian Wing.

That won’t be the only excitement in Williamstown this summer. Although the Williamstown Theatre Festival is on hiatus, the ‘62 Center for Theatre and Dance will not be dark. Instead, the organizers seized the opportunity to collaborate with the many cultural organizations that call the Berkshires home. Summer at the ‘62 Center is set to bring productions from far and wide, including a Berkshire Theatre Group concert series, a special production of “Driving Miss Daisy” from Barrington Stage and more.

With this new addition, my calendar is already packed to the brim with summer fun — shows at the Mahaiwe, dance at Jacob’s

Pillow, Solid Sound at Mass MoCA, Tea Talks at Ventfort Hall Mansion and Museum, tours at Naumkeag and Arrowhead, author talks at The Mount, Edith Wharton Cultural Center, picnics on the lawn at Tanglewood, operas from the Berkshire Opera Festival, films to screen at BIFF … Now, I’m realizing I need to pencil in some time outdoors — good thing I live in Adams, where I can waltz on over to the Ashwillticook Rail Trail for a walk or head up to the Greylock Glen Center for a hike.

As always, I look forward to celebrating the summer with you.
