Would you visit the pet cemetery? ⁠Edith Wharton

Would you visit the pet cemetery? ⁠Edith Wharton really loved her dogs. ⁠⠀

Here is our funny story about The Mount... we arrived and were instantly marveling at how nice the house was. We walked around oohing and aahing until a kind woman walked over to point out that we were at the horse stables. We still laugh about it. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To get to the house, you have to walk the winding driveway through the woods. And if you are impressed by the horse stables, just wait until you reach Edith Wharton's actual home. ⁠⠀

The Hancock Shaker Village is a living history mus

The Hancock Shaker Village is a living history museum. The shakers were such an intriguing religious group that got their name from the trembling, whirling, and shaking they engaged in during ecstatic worship services. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Led by a woman, the shakers came from England seeking religious freedom. Their original group of eight grew to 300 at the Hancock Shaker Village. They believed that "work was worship" and spent their days living off the land and creating beautiful things, which is why they are most well known for their fine furniture.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We meandered through the gardens, visited animals in the round barn and peeked inside their home. Advanced tickets are not required here since it is such a sprawling property, crowding has never been an issue.⁠⠀

We stumbled upon this scenic view called Olivia's Overlook in West Stockbridge. It was so beautiful and I can't even imagine what it looks like in the fall. ⁠

We picked up sandwiches from the deli in the center of West Stockbridge and had a picnic at Turn Park Art Space. The galleries are currently closed due to covid, but the sculpture park is open with a suggested donation. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After lunch, we realized that there was a whole area of the park we almost missed. There was a stone amphitheater for outdoor performances, "the eyeball" which became a fort and even outdoor twister.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you need a pick me up, head down the street to Depot 6 which is known for the best coffee in town.⁠⠀
