Thank you for rambling through the Berkshires with me. A lot of what you see on By the Way Berkshires is open to everyone. You can explore stories and events, coffee shops and trails up Mount Greylock, and if you’re looking for anything you don’t see here, you can ask me about it any time. The weekly BTW newsletter is also free, and you can sign up on the newsletter page just by entering an email.

You’ll also find extra content and extra tools for people who join me in the work. You can become a member for a subscription of $5 a month.

  • Bookmarks – You can save calendar events and create your own events lists.
  • Bonus stories and media – I’ll get behind the scenes and tell you about the kinds of places the locals know.
  • BTW Experiences – Are you coming for James Taylor and want to know what else to do on July 4? Let me show you where I’d go with friends.

I am one person keeping this website going in my free time.

If you would like to see it grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee or so, or you can make a one-time contribution. And I deeply appreciate your help.
