Bennington, VT

An outdoor enthusiast’s dream, Bennington is tucked between two stunning mountain ranges, the Taconics on the west and the Green Mountains on the east.

Great Barrington

Southern Berkshire’s largest town is one of natural beauty, cultural wealth and historical “firsts.” Combined with its convenient location, fashionable shopping district, fine restaurants and recreational opportunities, Great Barrington is and has been a favorite holiday haven for more than 100 years.

Lee

Named after prominent revolutionary patriot and commander General Charles Lee, the town of Lee has been in existence since the 1760s. Several historic buildings are worthy of attention, including the Congregational Church – a Romanesque-design building with a 150-foot steeple and a Seth Thomas Clock (one of only two of its kind ever made).

Lenox

Tucked in a scenic corner of the lush Southern Berkshires, the charming hamlet of Lenox is perhaps best known for being the former residence of literary legend Edith Wharton.

North Adams

North Adams is known as “The Town of Steeples and Peaks,” for the spires of its many churches – a lovely sight as you descend into the city from the west on Route 2.

Otis

If you want to take a trip back in time when life offered a gentler pace, you’ll want to explore Otis. This largely unspoiled, rural area is the site of the Otis Reservoir, the largest recreational body of water in Massachusetts.

Stockbridge

Stockbridge was Norman Rockwell’s long-time residence and home of what he called his “best studio yet.” Through his depiction of small towns, America’s favorite illustrator gave us images of memorable moments from childhood to old age, portraying a re-markable history of everyday life and ordinary people.

West Stockbridge

The historic village of West Stockbridge is a tiny, eclectic arts community set along-side the peaceful Williams River. It is an easy, pleasant stroll around the square block town, and it is filled with treasures.
