Exploring the Berkshires

Visiting In Spring
Spring is a glorious season in the Berkshires, a time of renewal and rejuvenation cast in buttery sunshine. This is the season to rediscover the outdoor beauty of our hills, valleys, lakes, and woods. Average March Temperatures is 34°F 

Experience History
In the nineteenth century during the Gilded Age, the natural beauty of the Berkshires attracted city dwellers for idyllic vacations among the lakes and hills. Many of these wealthy visitors built mansions and villas called “cottages” as seasonal retreats.

The Mount, home of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Edith Wharton, is one such “cottage.” Now beautifully restored, the home is operated as a historic house museum with extraordinary gardens where visitors can enjoy scenic walks and picnics. Ventfort Hall, another example also in Lenox, was built by the Morgan family and is now open to the public. (Both properties periodically offer ghost tours!)

A number of other Berkshire “cottages” have been meticulously renovated and are in use as sumptuous B&Bs, where the luxurious surroundings of a bygone era can be enjoyed alongside modern amenities. Choose an inn that was once part of a sprawling estate, a B&B set in the midst of woods or fields, or select a downtown hotel in walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

Visitors can also harken back to an earlier era when Hancock Shaker Village was a thriving agricultural enterprise and spring brought piglets and lambs and chicks to the farm. You won’t want to miss the annual spring celebration of Baby Animals on the Shaker Farm at this living history museum.
