Dan’s Diary: Berkshire Museum’s Stimulus Plan
The venerable Berkshire Museum is one of those secret gems in plain sight. Located in the heart of Pittsfield, it is an eclectic family-friendly museum that is especially family friendly for the entire month of May when admission will be free to all. “It’s our version of an economic—and cultural—stimulus program,” says Stuart Chase, the museum’s ebullient executive director. “We hope to encourage visitors, especially those who’ve never been here , or who last visited the museum as children, to come and check us out.” On Tuesday mornings in May, Chase will give special behind-the-scene tours of the museum’s storage rooms on a first-come, first-served basis (for only six guests over the age of 10). “I think people will be quite pleasantly surprised to see all that’s here in downtown Pittsfield,” says Chase.
