Gladys's Berkshires
Known for its natural beauty, wealth of cultural venues, vibrant culinary scene, and myriad recreational opportunities, the sophisticated, rural Berkshires have been a second-home and vacation destination for well over a century. With five Equity theaters that regularly send new productions to New York, four superb museums, the nation's premier summer dance festival at Jacob's Pillow, and numerous music venues spanning every genre and including Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony, this area offers greater access to the visual and performing arts than any other country-home destination within easy reach of Manhattan and Boston. Beautiful mountains, fields, forests, and lakes, five ski resorts, and miles of bicycle paths and hiking trails, including the Appalachian Trail, provide for unlimited year-round enjoyment of the great outdoors. To top it off, organic farms, farmer's markets, chef-owned farm-to-fork restaurants appeal to the most discerning foodie. A place with a rich history of humanistic thought, the Berkshires has welcomed immigrants, people of color, intellectuals, writers, and artists since the early 18th century, a tradition that continues today.
