The State Register was established in 1982 as a comprehensive listing of the buildings, structures, objects and sites that have received local, state or national designations based on their historical or archaeological significance. Since its establishment, the State Register has grown to include listings for over 60,000 properties in more than 320 cities and towns. The State Register of Historic Places is an important historic preservation planning reference tool. It alerts property owners, planners, and project proponents to the presence of significant historic properties and sites that need to be taken into consideration in both public and private ) undertakings. Researchers should consult additional information on properties listed in the State Register available in the files of the Commission. The staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the state historic preservation office, administers a range of historic preservation programs through its Preservation Planning, Grants, and Technical Services divisions. Please visit the Commission's website at www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc to learn more about recent news, events, available publications, and programs or to search the Massachusetts Cultural Resources Information System (MACRIS) database. If you have any questions about the Commission, or would like to request information, please feel free to contact the Commission at 617727-8470 or via email [email protected].

  • Chapter 2 Landscape Resources
    Route 116 Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan July 2013 Scenic Resources C H A P T E R 2 Route 116 Scenic Byway Introduction The Route 116 Scenic Byway is characterized by a diverse landscape. The Byway travels through Franklin, Hampshire and Berkshire Counties. The road winds from the Connecticut River Valley through the foothills and hills of the Berkshire Mountains to downtown Adams at the crossroads of Routes 116 and 8. The landscape along the route is beautiful and scenic. It is quintessential rural western Massachusetts. The landscape along the corridor is characterized by farmland, historic village centers, ponds, wetlands, forests, fields, meadows with distant mountain views, and an historic mill town. The completion of an inventory and evaluation of the scenic resources is integral to understanding the character of the road. This chapter describes the landscape assessment methodology; the results of the evaluation; and recommendations for maintaining and enhancing the scenic assets of the area. The Byway stretches 38.8 miles (21.4 miles in Franklin County, 7 miles in Hampshire County and 10.5 miles in Berkshire County). The corridor study area is defined as Route 116 plus a half‐mile wide strip on each side of the Byway. Additionally, the descriptions that are provided in this chapter (as with the rest of the report) travel from east to west. To assess the scenic resources of the Route 116 Scenic Byway the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC), the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) traveled the route and systematically rated the landscape features and views along the Byway using an assessment methodology.
