Living in Williamstown MA- Berkshire County Massachusetts.....All about Living in Williamstown where we put the accent on Livability. Williamstown offers plenty of arts and recreation options without the traffic and bustle of a large city. In 2007, Money magazine named Williamstown as a contender for one of the best 100 places to live in the U.S., an honor that speaks to how much this Northern Berkshires community has going for it.The town earns high marks because it is home to Williams College, which has consistently been ranked as the top small liberal-arts college in the country, but also home to the prestigious Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, which sits a short distance from downtown and attracts tourists from around the world, and also the Tony Award-winning Williamstown Theatre Festival, which runs every July and August.This is one of the easiest towns in Massachusetts to live in, said Town Manager Peter Fohlin. We dont have choking traffic, theres lots of outdoor recreation space, and we have a great variety of restaurants and entertainment. The college provides a great deal of opportunity for people to take part in cultural events, music, and drama, and we are centrally located just a few hours from Boston, New York and Montreal. Where else would you want to live?Williams College is the predominant physical presence downtown, and its buildings line both sides of the main street. But they are punctuated by shops, businesses, and eateries, and the college and the town share a peaceful and mutually beneficial coexistence.In this, the latest installment of its Community Profile series, BusinessWest takes a close look at what makes Williamstown such a desirable place to live, and also at two exciting new multi-million-dollar projects which will provide new office space, luxury condominiums, and a rebirth of the towns noteworthy Purple Pub.Town and GownOriginally called West Hoosac, the area was incorporated in 1765 as Williamstown after Ephraim Williams, who was killed in the French and Indian War, bequeathed a significant sum to the town on the condition that it was named after him. He started a free school that opened in 1791 and was named Williams College in 1793. Today, that early learning institution plays a vital role in the towns economic and geographic profile. The downtown area is very compact and an attractive draw for people who want to be park their cars and walk wherever they need to go. Its easy to find a place to own or rent where you can walk to restaurants, the movie theater, a golf course, or the colleges cultural and sporting events. Since townsfolk and college students intermingle, the town and college have established and maintain an excellent working relationship.The

Williamstown is known for its culture. The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is world-famous. It was built here in the 1950s by the Clark family as a safe depository for their art collection in the event of a nuclear war with Russia, Fohlin said. After they passed away, it was turned into a public institution of world renown. People from all over the world come here to see the Clark art collection.

The museum is in the beginning stages of a $25 million expansion project. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando and landscape architects Reed Hilderbrand Associates will design a campus plan that enhances the institutes setting, expands the facilities for its public and academic programs, and reconfigures its galleries to broaden the ways in which visitors experience works of art.

Tourists frequent the town in every season.In the summer we host the Williamstown Theater Festival and the Williamstown Film Festival. Conferences are also held at Williams College by the Massachusetts Teachers Assoc. and smaller organizations. The Williams Inn, a dozen or so motels, and a half-dozen bed and breakfasts house the tourists, who frequent Williamstown in the fall for the foliage and in the winter for the nearby ski resorts. Tourists also visit the town to enjoy canoeing on the Hoosic River and the Rural Land Foundations network of hiking trails.
