Adams
is located in the northwest corner of the state along the Hoosac River, near the Vermont border. It is bordered by the Hoosac Range on the east and Mount Greylock (which is Massachusetts highest peak) on the west. A small town of approximately 9,500 residents, the town of Adams is nestled in an area of abundant natural beauty, full of dense forests, wide open fields, mountain streams and wildlife. A town known for its' fine schools, churches and small town charm, Adams also has historic sites, fine restaurants and shopping (including the Waverly Fabrics factory outlet) and outdoor recreation. It is the birthplace of Susan B. Anthony, a descendant of the Quakers who originally settled in the area in the 18th century. Adams is a great place for fall foliage tours, and also offers miles of hiking trails with waterfalls and nearby parks. Some of the attractions in the area include Greylock Glen, which is a beautiful natural area; Peck's Falls, the Quaker MeetingHouse (built in 1782) and Adams Agricultural Fair. Chief Graylock "The Face of the Mountain," is a natural attraction that can be viewed from downtown Adams. In addition, a major recreational development is planned near Adams on the east slope of Mt. Graylock. Other attractions within a short drive include the Norman Rockwell Museum, Hancock Shaker Village and the Berkshire Museum. Adams is also host to several special events during the year, including the Susan B. Anthony Days and the Holly Days and Tree Lighting Festival.

Adams Weather & Climate

|

Western New York, including The Berkshires, has a moderate four-season climate. The first significant snowfall usually occurs in December, but it varies from year to year. Some years there is no snow or ice until after the first of the new year, and the temperatures near The Hudson River stay quite mild. March is the month to look for the first signs of spring, although cool temps can linger throughout the month. Summers are hazy, warm and humid. September can be mixed with either clear, cool Canadian air or humid, warm air with intense downpours. October is possibly the most beautiful month in the Berkshires with warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Perfect weather for enjoying the foliage. Typically, colors peak the first three weeks of October.
