fun fact

Egremont was once a stagecoach stop on the Albany-Hartford route.

Egremont hews close to its farming roots, with 20 percent of the land still used for agriculture. It has a charming downtown with shops, cafes, and a post office. On the outskirts of town are dozens of options for outdoor recreation, including biking and walking; and hiking trails, a horseback-riding ring, tennis and volleyball courts, and ball fields at French Park. Egremont has lower property taxes than many of the Berkshires’ best-known towns.
