Welcome to Lanesborough!
It's a small town at the heart of the Berkshires, and it's a wonderful place to be. There is so much to do and see!
First of all, there’s the world class culture…
Mass MoCA, The Clark, Williamstown Theater Festival, Barrington Stage, Berkshire Theater Group, Shakespeare & Company, The Mount, Ventfort Hall, Naumkeag, Hancock Shaker Village, Great Barrington Public Theater, PS21
I’m sure I missed a few, but you get the idea
Then there’s the nature…
Walks and green places abound, but start with Big Daddy, Mount Greylock. The tallest mountain in Massachusetts, jewel of the Applachian Trail, and home to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for all you Harry Potter Fans, the visitor’s center is 8.3 miles away. Go for the hikes or just drive to the summit, it’s all quite amazing.
