Lenox, Historic town in Berkshire County, Massachusetts
Located in western Massachusetts at 366 meters elevation, Lenox features residential neighborhoods surrounded by forests and rolling hills of the Berkshire region.
Founded in 1750 by Jonathan and Sarah Hinsdale from Connecticut, Lenox served as the county seat from 1784 until 1868 when Pittsfield took this role.
The Tanglewood Music Festival brings classical performances to Lenox each summer as the Boston Symphony Orchestra maintains its seasonal residence in the town.
