Monterey
is a small town of less than a thousand residents located in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. It was, at one time, part of the town of Tyringham, but incorporated as a separate town in 1847. Some of the Berkshires most beautiful resources are located near the town of Monterey - such as Mill River, Lakes Buel and Garfield and more than twenty state parks and forests, including Beartown State Forest. One of the most unique attractions in town is the Monterey General Store, the town's "commercial, political and social hub" which is like stepping back in time to the 1780s. The Bidwell House Museum is another Monterey attraction - set amid the scenic Berkshire Hills, this museum is an elegant Georgian saltbox-style original built circa 1750 as a parsonage. It is authentically restored and filled with antique furnishings with beautiful grounds and hiking trails. The Bidwell House Museum is open Thursday through Monday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, Memorial Day to mid-October. Nearby Beartown State Park offers year round camping, boating, fishing, hiking, swimming and picnicking. Other places of interest include Santarella, the historic home of sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson, located in nearby Tyringham. Known as "the Gingerbread House," the property dates back to the late 18th century and gets its name from its' quaint storybook architecture.
