LIFE IN THE BERKSHIRES

Great Barrington is a premier walkable shopping, dining, and entertainment destination, with numerous cafes, patisseries and restaurants.  Named the #1 Small Town in America by Smithsonian Magazine, Great Barrington is also home to Fairview Hospital, ranked one of the best rural hospitals in America.
