MONTEREY, Mass. — Berkshire County Historical Society will host a cemetery walk at Woods Cemetery

 

The walk will take place on Wednesday Oct. 25 at 4:30 pm.

 

Join historian Robert Hoogs as he explores the historic Woods Cemetery. Take a walking tour of the oldest cemetery in Monterey where Rev. Adonijah Bidwell and two of his wives are buried along with many of the early settlers of what was once Township #1 (modern day Tyringham and Monterey). 

 

Meet at the Bidwell House Museum parking lot at the end of Art School Road. Participants will carpool from there to the cemetery as parking is limited on Beartown Mountain Road. Participants should wear sturdy shoes and bring bug repellent.

 

The Rain date is Thursday, Oct 26, at 4:30 pm

 

Tickets are $15 for BCHS members, $20 for non-members, and are available by using the BOOK NOW button at berkshirehistory.org.
