When arriving at the Berkshires from nearby New York, Albany, Hartford, Boston or other distant locales, the first stop a visitor often makes is the village of West Stockbridge located in Western Massachusetts. This picturesque town, straddling the Williams River, is just off the main highways coming and going. With a multitude of cultural attractions like Tanglewood Music Center, Norman Rockwell Museum, Hancock Shaker Village, Jacob's Pillow, Mass MoCA and Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, it's no wonder that the Berkshires was named #3 on Travel + Leisure's list of the 50 best places to travel in the US in 2021!

The charming town of West Stockbridge has its own, newly created cultural destination in TurnPark Art Space (photo above). This sculpture park, built into an old marble quarry, is now one of the notable 'things to do' when in the area.

AT THE HEART

The Williams River Basin is formed by several brooks, lakes and ponds converging north of town, collecting at Shaker Mill Pond, flowing over the dam at the old Shaker Mill, and through the heart of town.

Whether you are angling along the Williams River bank, spending a summer at Crane Lake Camp, swimming at Card Pond Recreation Area, or just picnicking along the footbridge at the center of town, the river's flow sets a relaxing tone - nourishing and entertaining all who encounter it.
