The Berkshire Hills is a place of great natural beauty with
over 200 years of history in its charming New England villages.
There are concerts and plays, museums and dance performances,
antique hunting and galleries, boutiques and fine restaurants
for lunch and dinner. There is hiking and biking, river and lake
canoeing, golf, tennis and skiing, all centered around Stockbridge.
And there is nothing that compares to our New England foliage
colors in October.
