Lenox, Massachusetts

Population 5,025

Located in Western Massachusetts, Lenox makes a nice stop on any trip through the Berkshires. If you’d like to explore the outdoors a bit, then stop by the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. This 1,000-acre preserve features the .3-mile All Persons Trail that winds through a hemlock grove and circles Pikes Pond. The beavers are usually quite active, and it’s also a good birding venue. The Norman Rockwell Museum, which is located a short drive away in Stockbridge, is also worth a visit. There’s barrier-free access to the museum, which is home to the world’s largest collection of Norman Rockwell’s work. And if you’d like to overnight in Lenox, look no further than the Brook Farm Inn (brookfarm.com). This quaint country property has two wheelchair-accessible rooms, both of which have a roll-in shower. And you just can’t beat the yummy breakfast buffet that’s set out for guests each morning.
