Things To Do
Tanglewood
Just down the road, Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and is a beautiful place to see some music. You can buy tickets for the Shed, or just get tickets for the lawn and take a picnic. They release their schedules and tickets around January.
MASS MoCA
Further afield (45 min drive), but our favourite museum in the State. It's a HUGE contemporary art museum (biggest in the US!) in an old electric factory and well worth a visit if you have time.
The Mount, Edith Wharton's Home
A beautiful old home and garden. Free to go and walk around the property which has trails, sculptures, formal gardens, and a beaver pond.
Clark Art Institute
Also a 45 min drive away, for those who prefer a more classical collection. It has beautiful grounds that are free to walk around.
High Lawn Farm
Really good ice cream. And cheese. And butter.
Shakespeare & Company
Steps from the venue is this theatre company that does more than just Shakespeare. A great place to watch a show!
Jacob's Pillow
If you want to see an amazing dance performance, this is the place for you. We recently saw a ballet Bowie tribute here. They do great stuff.
