Welcome to Lenox, MA!
Located in the heart of the The Berkshires, just a few hours from the metropolises of New York City and Boston, the village of Lenox was once a popular summer retreat for America's wealthiest citizens during the 1800s. As a result, Lenox is bursting with stunning mansions that showcase the former grandeur of the town. Lenox continues to charm visitors today with its festivals and outdoor recreation. The Mount Estate and Gardens of Edith Wharton, a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist, is open to the public and is just one example of Lenox's stately homes. Lenox is not lacking for entertainment, as the Boston Symphony Orchestra spends its summers at Tanglewood and hosts musical performances regularly. The Tanglewood Jazz Festival occurs every September and features nationally and internationally-renowned jazz musicians. For outdoor fun, the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses 1,500 acres (600 ha) and offers beaver viewing, hiking and canoeing activities.
