"Currier and Ives lovely" is how LIFE
magazine recently described Lenox, the heart of the beautiful Berkshire
hills in Western Massachusetts. A century ago, many of America's wealthiest
families were attracted to Lenox by the clear air and commanding vistas.
They built magnificent summer mansions here, and called them "cottages."
For the last six decades, Lenox has been famous around the world as the
site of Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Today,
Lenox is a premier destination for the traveler in search of culture, outdoor
recreation -- or just a getaway from the everyday world. The village of
Lenox remains a place of restful beauty and gentle hills, a place to soothe
the weary body and busy mind.
