Williamstown
A ridgeline property on the eastern slopes of the Taconic Range, this tract abuts the Taconic Trail State Forest. Its unmarked wood roads lead deep into the hollows to the north. Outstanding starting point for exploration for hikers, snowshoers and backcountry skiers with map, compass and GPS skills.
This land, and all of the present-day Berkshires, are the ancestral homeland of the Mohican people, who were forcefully displaced to Wisconsin by European colonization. These lands continue to be of great significance to the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation today. To learn more visit mohican.com.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
