Local Playwright Joan Ackerman Appears at the Lenox Library on Sunday,

We’re well aware of the news that’s making everyone feel stressed these days, so here’s important information.

Brook Farm Inn, in Lenox Massachusetts, is glad to join with the other inns of Berkshire Elegant Country Inns to offer our guests a special hike.  We’ve engaged a professional guide for two Saturdays, November 1 and November 15.  On each of those days, you can join other guests for a guided hike through some of the most beautiful Berkshires scenery.  The hikes will be moderate, from 11 AM to 1 PM.  Not only will we provide the guide, but we’ll also make sure you have snacks.  When you phone Brook Farm Inn for your reservation, tell us you’re interested.

You can view–and purchase – new works by Marguerite Bride at Museum Facsimiles in Pittsfield. Ms. Bride’s solo exhibit displays her Local Color series.  She captures the beauty of the Berkshires in her watercolors, which feature well-known scenes and also unusual and out-of-the-way views.  Plus, Museum Facsimiles is a wonderful and unique store, where you’ll be beguiled by art for your home, wearable gifts, and special stationery and cards.  We at Brook Farm Inn in Lenox have been customers for a long time.

Come see the stage adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird! It’s at the Barrington Stage Co. in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, from October 8th through the 26th.  The famous novel was written by Harper Lee.  This production promises to be worthwhile.  Brook Farm Inn, in Lenox, is only a few minutes away.

Callers to Brook Farm Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts are asking about fall foliage — they want to know if the leaves are changing yet.  The answer is, a little bit.  You can see a few maples with orange leaves at the end of some branches, and even though the days are beautiful and warm, the evenings get cool. So that will bring on more changing colors.  Come see the Berkshires for yourself in this beautiful season!

We in the Berkshires are blessed with wonderful professional theater companies, including the Barrington Stage. Co. in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. We were lucky enough to attend a recent performance of Noel Coward’s “Private Lives,” and what a treat! First performed in 1930, this play is still witty and entertaining. It centers on a couple who can’t live with each other, and can’t live without each other. The cast was perfect.  We’re sending all our Brook Farm Inn (in Lenox) guests to see it.
