The Berkshire Cottages: A Vanishing Era

The Berkshires are a popular tourist attraction and vacation getaway, serving the same function in relation to Connecticut and Massachusetts that the Catskills do in New York and the Poconos for Pennsylvania. With numerous trails, including part of the Appalachian Trail, large tracts of wilderness, parks like Kent Falls, Berkshire Botanical Garden and Hebert Arboretum the Berkshires are very popular with nature lovers. The Berkshire region is noted as a center for the visual and performing arts.

Carole Owens is a resident of Stockbridge, MA. Her home is on the grounds of a 19th century Berkshire cottage. This book offers the Berkshire Hills traveler the unique opportunity of standing in two centuries at once. A tour of the cottages is one to be undertaken while they stand and can be experienced in their 20th century incarnations as inns, restaurants and historic sites. This book will guide the reader to a vanishing era.
