North-Adams
is a small city in Berkshire County in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. It's well-known for being home to the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. As of the 2010 census, the population was 13,708. North Adams was first settled in 1745 and named in honor of American Revolution leader, Samuel Adams. It began as a mill town and developed into a manufacturing center. Today, North Adams is a center for culture and tourism. The city also has several athletic complexes and recreational fields, and is home to the SteepleCats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. The parks and beautiful natural surroundings provide lots of opportunity for outdoor fun. The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art opened in 1999 and is one of the world's premier art centers. More than 120,000 visitors make it one of the most visited institutions in the U.S. It houses exhibits by some of the most important artists of today, and focuses on large-scale and complex art installations in its 110,000 square feet of open space. In addition, more than 75 performances are staged at MASS MoCA year-round, and includes contemporary dance, music, outdoor silent films, documentaries and avant-garde theater. Also available at the museum is Kidspace, a collaboration between MASS MoCa, the Clark Art Institute and the Williams College Museum of Art that offers elementary school children a place to study and create art.

North Adams Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central New York enjoys a four-season climate with lots of sunshine in the summer and cold, snowy conditions in the winter. This region is a unique mix of farmland, sparkling lakes and cascading waterfalls and other geological wonders. The area around Syracuse receives some of the heaviest snowfalls in the nation, and annual precipitation is from 36 to 44 inches of rain and snowmelt. Summers are pleasant, generally with only a handful of days when humidity is really a problem. Autumn is sunny and cool, but brief. Snow is usually on the ground from Christmas until mid-March, although a period when the ground is bare is also not uncommon. Severe weather such as hurricanes or tornadoes are generally not experienced in New York, as they are in other parts of the country.
