Things To Do
The Mount, Edith Wharton's Home
Edith Wharton's estate and sprawling gardens are breathtaking fit (also with a somewhat eerie and charming pet cemetery). We loved listening to Wharton's "Age of Innocence" on audiobook while driving around the Berkshires. She wrote a number of other inimitable works of literature such as "Ethan Frome" and "The House of Mirth."
Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio
We have an affinity for mid-century modern house museums (and even got engaged at one). Abstract artists George L. K. Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen lived and worked here.
Tanglewood
Tanglewood's 2024 concert season has plenty going on in July.
Familiar Trees
Of course we had to include some bookstores on this list. Familiar Trees has an incredible curation of fiction, poetry, art books, and more.
The Bookstore and Get Lit Wine Bar
Come for an amazing selection of books, stay for a conversation with The Bookstore's kind and knowledgeable owner Matt.
MASS MoCA
While the drive to MASS MoCA is a little over an hour from New Marlborough/Great Barrington, it's always worth the trip.
Gary Lichtenstein Editions at MASS MoCA
If you're going to MASS MoCA, don't miss Gary Lichtenstein Editions—the studio space of a master printer featuring a gallery of silkscreen prints.
Clark Art Institute
If you're making the trek out to MASS MoCA, pop on over to Williamstown to visit the Clark for a museum-filled day!
Berkshire Botanical Garden
Enjoy the gardens and learn more about varieties of plants native to the Berkshires.
Chesterwood
Visit the home, gardens, and studio of Daniel Chester French, who is best known for his sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial.
