Lee was a filming location in the movie Before and After.
After its mills folded in the early 20th century, Lee seemed destined to be a blip on the radar of New England history. But an extensive downtown revitalization project brought the town back to vibrant life, and its antique Main Street buildings onto the National Register of Historic Places. Known as the Gateway to the Berkshires, for its location right on the Mass Pike, the town has a variety of shopping, restaurants and bars, community services, and special events.
The heart of Lee’s business district, Main Street is on the National Register of Historic Places. You’ll find a range of cafes, restaurants, shops, and galleries here and on adjacent streets.
