In the northwestern corner of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, nestling close to the foothills of the Northern Berkshires, is the sprightly city of North Adams whose tourists’ slogan is “The Home of the Mohawk Trail.” The Berkshire Hills are famed for their beauty, but perhaps at no point are they more beautiful than at this place. Of the charm nature spreads about the vicinity the pens of such men as Beecher, Bryant and Hawthorne have described in poetic manner, as being beauty spots painted in glowing colors by nature’s brush. - J.H. Lockwood 1926
