Great Barrington
The liveliest small town in the southern Berkshires, with restaurants, boutiques and the century-old Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center along its main street.
Great Barrington's main street is lined with old red-brick buildings, farm-to-table restaurants, cafés, bakeries, antique shops and design boutiques. The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, dating from 1905, hosts music, film and live performances year-round. The town is a base for visits to Bash Bish Falls and Monument Mountain, and there is a farmers' market on weekends. You can explore the town at any time of day for free, though free parking spaces are limited. It is about 25 km from Lenox.
