Chilling at Berkshires

Stockbridge (pop. 2,018) is considered to be an all year round resort. It was settled by British missionaries in 1734, who established it as a praying town for the Stockbridge Indians, an indigenous Mohican tribe. The township was set aside for the tribe by Massachusetts colonists as a reward for their assistance against the French in the French and Indian Wars.
Although the Massachusetts General Court had assured the Stockbridge Indians that their land would never be sold, the agreement was rescinded. Despite the aid by the Tribe to the American Patriots during the Revolutionary War, the village was taken over by European American settlers.
With the arrival of the railroad in 1850, Stockbridge developed as a summer resort for the wealthy of Boston and other major cities.

It's a cute little town with charming 2 Blick Main street. Lots of cafés and restaurants not to mention wine & cheese stores and of course more chocolate...we behaved 😊

Unfortunately the skies began to get darker and the threat of erlier promised possible thunderstorms became more real.
We decided to abandon the idea of checking out another nearly little town and beat a hasty retreat back to the resort. Good decision as within 30 perhaps 45 minutes the skies did open up.
We'll just call it a day and stay put and eat our dinner later on ( today is the home dinner anyway; we follow our 3 dinners out 4 dinners in routine ever since we got our 1st time share)Läs mer
