If you love the thrill of actively
exploring historical sites, rather than
simply being confined to a viewing area
behind a rope, then a visit to the Hampton
Terrace Bed and Breakfast may be the perfect
adventure--and getaway--for you. We are
among the many historical sites of Lenox,
Massachusetts, in the heart of the
Berkshires. We have lovingly preserved our
home and its place in history, and we
welcome you to visit
The Berkshires
are home to year-round exhibitions and
festivals. Summer is of course an ideal time
to visit, due to a large number of festivals
and celebrations of historical sites. In
fact, the month of July has been declared
Berkshire County Heritage Month by the
County Commissioners of Berkshire County.
Of course, if you are looking to explore
more intimate sites, such as historic homes,
quieter times of year often make the most
sense. A great site to visit is the home of
Colonel John Ashley, the oldest complete
house in the Berkshires. The home of the
famous poet (and one of the original
founders of the Republican Party) William
Cullen Bryant is also open for viewing and
tours. Lenox is filled with such sites, as
it was the longtime home of many of the
landmark families of industry, art and
finance in the 19th century, as well as the
literary elite. Esteemed Gilded Age author
Edith Wharton, in fact, lived right next
door. Hampton Terrace Bed and
Breakfast is filled with photographs and
furnishings from years gone by, including a
stunning red leather and glass bar that
dates to the 1930s. Stroll through our rooms
and take in the history as you relax and
enjoy your stay. We welcome any questions
about our inn. Contact us at 1-800-203-0656
