Description: Nestled in the rolling hills of the Berkshires, Tyringham is a small Massachusetts town with an outsized story to tell. From its indigenous origins and colonial roots to the utopian Shaker community at Fernside and the whimsical artistry of the famed Gingerbread House, this richly layered portrait explores the people, landscapes, and traditions that shaped the village. Along the way, readers wander through working farms and old mills, climb the ancient marble ridge of Tyringham Cobble, and discover how a rural community preserves its heritage while embracing modern life.
