After being closed for 2 years, the road to the highest peak in Massachusetts will be opening today. The newly repaired road makes it possible for you to drive to the top of Mt. Greylock, where you’ll find Bascom Lodge, a visitors’ center. The view from Bascom Lodge is incomparable, and on the way are scenic overlooks. The drive there from Brook Farm Inn, in Lenox, is about 1/2 hour. Link here for more information. http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/mtGreylock/

We’re well aware of the news that’s making everyone feel stressed these days, so here’s important information.
In a newspaper article titled “Take a vacation and you may live longer,” Drs. Kay Judge and Maxine Barish-Wreden wrote, “Vacations may lead to decreased heart attacks and longer lives.” That’s right–you will live longer if you take regular vacations. Using data from a Framingham heart study, researchers found that women who took a vacation once every six years or less were almost eight times more likely to develop heart disease or have a heart attack than those who took at least two vacations a year.
“Similarly, a study of more than 700 women between the ages of 45 and 65 revealed that frequent vacations cut the risk of death among all women by half.”
So, for your health and peace of mind, come to Brook Farm Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts. The Berkshires is a great place to unwind.

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!

You may have been reading or hearing lately about the financial difficulties of The Mount, famed estate of the author, Edith Wharton. Brook Farm Inn is within walking distance of this treasure in Lenox, Massachusetts. A tour of the mansion and gardens are a must for every visitor to the Berkshires, and many wonderful events take place there as well. So Brook Farm Inn is offering to buy admission for guests who book a stay of at least two nights, between May 9th and June 12th. We hope it will not only contribute to the fundraising efforts, but introduce visitors to this historic and literary landmark.
