Modular Mountain Retreat Project
A Visit to the Berkshires VideoBob meets with Bill Wilson of the Berkshire Visitors Bureau to discuss the beautiful areas surrounding the project home. The Berkshires are located along the Massachusetts Turnpike from Boston to Stockbridge. Around the turn of the century, New York millionaires built “cottages” in the area for summer retreats. These palatial mansions have now become resorts and tourist spots. The Berkshire area has drawn more than its share of writers and artists in the past, including Edith Wharton, Daniel Chester French, Hawthorne, Melville, and Norman Rockwell. The Berkshires are a vacationer’s paradise with boating, biking, golfing and hiking in the summer. Winter activities include skiing, snow shoeing and cross country skiing. In autumn, the incredible display of fall foliage is unrivaled. The Boston Symphony’s summer home is located at Tanglewood in the western Berkshires. There is also a lively theatre and art scene, as well as the Hancock Shaker village, an outdoor history museum.
