Rivers, lakes and hills abound in this region that borders New York State. The Berkshire Hills, or simply The Berkshires, is an idyllic destination with dozens of unique townships and recreation areas. Williamstown—a terminus for the scenic Mohawk Trail—proudly bears the nickname Village Beautiful. Stockbridge was the scene for many Norman Rockwell paintings, and the Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge is dedicated to this famous artist.
