Lenox
“A town of uncommon beauty. A gem among the mountains.”
Ralph Waldo Delsignore
1877 –78
Home to tourist attractions like Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Company,
Ventfort Hall Museum of the Gilded Age, Kripalu Center for Yoga and
Health, Canyon Ranch of the Berkshires, Cranwell Resort, Eastover ,
Lenoxdale Service Station and Edith Wharton’s The Mount, not to mention
fine shops like The Bookstore, The Shade Gallery, DryGoods, Loeb’s Foodtown,
Lenox Printing and Variety Video, Lenox Coffee Roasters, Clearwater
Natural Foods, Glad Rags and Casablanca and The Purple Plume, good eateries like Fin Sushi,
Homer’s and SoCo, Zinc and Betty’s and Frankie’s, and of course Church Street
Café, Café Lucia , Dish and Napa and Firefly, Berkshire Bagel and Barood’s ;
neighbor to Berkshire Theatre Festival, Chesterwood, Norman Rockwell Museum,
Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Barrington Stage, Mixed Company, Williamstown Theatre Festival,
among others.
Home also to approximately 6000 full time year round residents with lives that
don’t necessarily revolve around the tourist industry or even many of the shops
that line the streets of the village. A pluralistic mindset is somewhat of a requirement
for successful negotiation of the terrain here.
