Great Barrington is so unique because it combines the excitement and variety of the big city with the slow-paced charm and natural setting of a classic New England small town. The Smithsonian called “Great Barrington the best small town in America”, and we’re inclined to agree. There’s something indescribably comfortable yet energetic about this small mountain town. Great Barrington is a quirky, beautiful and exciting place to visit. You’ll leave with more memories than you can carry home and a newfound appreciation for the charms of Western Massachusetts.
