Show notes

Between the years of 1865 and 1901, the United States saw unprecedented economic and industrial growth. During this time, an area referred to as The Berkshires in the state of Massachusetts became the primary location for the country’s wealthiest families to build country estates that would rival many of the UK’s manor houses in both stature and size. These estates, despite their grandiose nature, were referred to as the Berkshire Cottages due to their primary function being summer homes. Many of these houses hosted lavish events attended by the highest of high society figures at the time. Over a century after the Berkshire Cottages’ heyday, echoes remain of former inhabitants who aren’t yet prepared to leave their grandiose, gilded age homes behind.Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?
