Things To Do
MASS MoCA
Mass MOCA is the inspiration for our wedding weekend in North Adams. One of our first day trips was to this contemporary art museum built out of a collection of 19th-century mill buildings. It's an incredible space and a must see if you like art or architecture.
Bright Ideas Brewing
This brewery is located on the MASS MoCA campus, which makes for a perfect stop before or after visiting the museum.
Mount Greylock
There are quite a few great hikes that go up and/or around Mt. Greylock, which is Massachusetts' highest peak. Click the link below to view a great guide on various hiking options - and note that you'll want to browse through the year-round trails to choose a route, not the seasonal ones.
The Cascades Trail
The Cascades trail is a short, beautiful river walk following the Notch Brook in North Adams to a popular cascading waterfall. Accessible from the parking lot of the YMCA, the whole journey should only take about an hour and a half round trip. The trailhead can be hard to find so please check out the link below for the access details via AllTrails.
Jack's Hot Dog Stand
Hot dogs are a very important food group. Check 'em out if you agree!
Freight Yard Pub
A great lunch or dinner spot, located within Western Gateway Heritage State Park, which is a former rail yard and a part of North Adams' history.
