Washington, Mass.

The Berkshires town of Washington boasts five small lakes, a number streams and many clear springs. It has a great deal of good grazing land and has remained, down through the years, a small rural community. Washington also is home to two of the most famous denizens of Berkshire county, Arlo Guthrie and James Taylor (neighboring Lenoxians claim JT as one of their own, though). Guthrie has lived in Washington since the 1970s, having bought property there with proceeds from Alice’s Restaurant, while Taylor built a house and studio there in the 2000s.
