Southern Berkshire County is a magical place. Some call it paradise. The towns of Great Barrington and Stockbridge are nestled among the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, and encompass the villages of Housatonic, Van Deusenville, Glendale, and Interlaken. They, along with the neighboring towns of Egremont, Lenox and Sheffield, share a fascinating heritage centered around the area's natural beauty, the arts, and the evolution of local history.
This historic region of western Massachusetts has seen its share of change over the past 150 years. The industrial advances of inventors like William Stanley have been replaced by the entrepreneurial savvy of marketers like Country Curtains' owner Jane Fitzpatrick. Amidst all the change, however, the innate appeal of the Berkshires remains. The area teems with pleasures like majestic Monument Mountain, the Housatonic River, Tanglewood....and the list goes on. Creative geniuses such as Norman Rockwell, Arlo Guthrie, and W.E.B. DuBois have all found inspiration here.
The 228 vintage photos included in this volume date back as far as the 1860s, but the collection also includes many superb photographs from the last fifty years by internationally acclaimed photographers like Lucien Aigner, Clemens Kalischer, and Bill Tague, to name just a few. The rural and cultural charm of the area is revealed in these marvelous artistic views.
