Located in beautiful Berkshire County, Williamstown has long been recognized as a principal cultural center in Western Massachusetts. It is the home of Williams College, a coeducational, liberal-arts institution with a student body in excess of 2,000. The Williamstown Theatre Festival is one of the top ranking summer theaters in the country. The Clark Art Institute, with its large collection of Renoirs and works of other Impressionists, is also located in Williamstown.
Williamstown offers in-town living and most points of interest are within walking distance. However, country living is only minutes from the town center, with spectacular mountain views on all sides. The town is a three-hour drive from Boston and New York, and about an hour’s drive from a major jetport at Albany, NY.
Recreational activities at your doorstep include hiking (the Appalachian Trail), camping, fishing, golf, tennis, alpine skiing and cross-country skiing.
Every season of the year, Williamstown is a great place to live!
