  • Weekend Getaways to Berkshires, MA from Boston Or New York | Fodor's
    Arts and Culture Weekend Getaway in the Berkshire Mountains Distance from New York City: 169 miles Best time: May to November Best for: Girl's GetawayArts and CultureFood and Wine It's little wonder that culture hounds makes their way to Western Massachusetts each summer. The hamlets nestled in the Berkshire Mountains are blessed with terrific art, music, theater, and antiquing. Here, eight museums join renowned stage productions and dance festivals, plus a little music venue called Tanglewood. All that, plus a gorgeous natural setting of mountains and meadows—accessible on foot, bike, raft, balloon, horse, or even llama—is enough to uplift spirits. And there's no shortage of spas here, in the event you need extra help working out the kinks. –By Lisa Oppenheimer Friday The Berkshire Mountains Cheat Sheet View a printable list of all sights, restaurants, entertainment, and hotels from this itinerary. View 1. Get your bearings by venturing into Downtown Lenox. Poke your head in and around the shops and galleries located along the main thoroughfares of Main, Franklin, Church, and West streets. 2. Enjoy a lovely dinner in the outdoor courtyard of Cafe Lucia, a Berkshires favorite that's been dishing up Italian specialties based on local ingredients for the last three decades. 3. In season, there's nothing more soothing than al fresco entertainment on the historic grounds of Tanglewood. (Even with no show on, it's still worth visiting to experience the setting.) Classical greats perform at the Koussevitzky Shed, while smaller shows go on at the newer Ozawa Hall. Economical lawn seats are almost always available on the fly except during big events such as James Taylor nights.

  • The History of the Strong Family and the Farm Written by Norman R
    The history of the Strong family and the farm written by Norman R. Strong in the winter of 2009. …. In writing the history of the Strong Farm, it is beneficial that you have the history of the Strong family as given to me by father as given to him by his grandfather. So it is with me working with my dad being in partnership with him and later operating the farm by myself. He told me of Elder Jonathan Strong coming from England to Taunton, Mass. and later on drifting down to Connecticut to Hebron and later to Bolton with his family. He told me of Daniel Strong in Bolton running a gin mill and selling it in New York City. He lost all his money and broke up his large family. He was the father of Nathan Morgan Strong in 1829. He gave Nathan at 6 years of age to a cousin in Glastonbury. At a young age, Nathan worked in a mill in East Glastonbury and also in Cheney Mills in Manchester. Later he worked for a man named Ellis now on Route 85 making charcoal. One afternoon when he was about 15, he gave him a pair of cattle and a horse to take a load of charcoal to Hartford to pedal. He put the cattle in a livery stable with the horse and he slept under the wagon on a blanket so the other wagons wouldn’t run over him as they came in. He pedaled the charcoal all day and got home about 12 a.m.

  • Housatonic River Monsters
    Housatonic River Monsters by Harry Desmond There is something truly beautiful about a species of fish, that not only has no natural predators, but also wants to eliminate everything moving across its path. This makes for an exciting and addicting fish to chase. More and more over the past few seasons fishing pike, my clients have started saying “what a hit!” When I first started my fly fishing business five years ago, I naturally took all of my clients out to fish for trout. I had been fishing for trout most of my life. Two and a half years ago, I decided to do a mid- summer mission for northern pike to see what the possibilities were in my local river. The Housatonic River in Western Massachusetts, which weaves its way through the hills of the Berkshires, has many different faces. With six top water fed dams over the 25 river miles that I fish, each section can be quite different, depending on what set of dams you are in between. I have always had good luck fishing the trout sections due to abundant bug life. While trout feed on small patterns, like nymphs and dry flies, pike will chase huge patterns, making for fun takes. I had been hearing rumors about a very pikey section of this river, which really peaked my interest. After a little research, I found myself in pursuit of these river gators. I remember dropping my drift boat into this particular section of river and thinking that it seemed slower and murkier than what I’m used to in the trout sections.
