Join local historian and costumed eighteenth-century interpreter Tim Abbott for a guided walk through Revolutionary Pittsfield. Visit the sites of prominent dwellings, meeting houses and taverns to learn about the notable people events of the day that took place here. Expect to spend about ninety minutes strolling through the center of the city, after which you are welcome to join us for a libation at a nearby establishment. The Berkshire County Historical Society will kick off a series of walking tours in downtown Pittsfield that highlight various aspects of Pittsfield’s rich and diverse history. Tour themes touch on the people and places that helped shape our community including the city’s industrial past, its role in the Revolutionary War, the impact of immigrant communities during the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, art, architecture, and sports. Most tours begin at 11 am and last approximately 60 – 90 minutes. Tours are offered rain or shine, but extreme weather may necessitate cancellation.  Participants should dress for the weather and in comfortable walking shoes; sunscreen and a hat are recommended.
