Tucked in snug between the Taconic and Hoosac mountain ranges in western Massachusetts and Connecticut, the Berkshires have long been a popular vacation destination, particularly for well-heeled East Coasters in search of a nearby mountain escape. Today, the Berkshires still draw in tourists with a wealth of natural beauty and ever-appealing quaint towns that stud the pastoral landscape—places like Williamstown, Lenox, and Stockbridge. The region has historically served as inspiration for artists, including writers like Herman Melville and Edith Wharton; that same prominent artistic streak can still be found today in the region’s many galleries, theaters, and museums.
