Historic Map - Great Barrington, MA - 1884
Description
View of Great Barrington, Berkshire County, M.A., 1884 / drawn & published by L. R. Burleigh.
This bird’s-eye view print of Great Barrington, Massachusetts was drawn and published by L. R. Burleigh, Beck & Pauli, Lith. in 1884. Great Barrington was settled in the 1730's along the Housatonic River. Farming was extensively done in areas that were less uneven, while mills and industries emerged along the Housatonic and its tributaries.
Great Barrington was served by the Housatonic Railroad, which upon completion in the 1830's, enabled New Englanders easy access to the beauty of the Berkshire hills landscape. Many wealthy families built grand vacation cottages at Great Barrington in the late 1800's.
The illustration includes labeled streets, buildings, bridges, waterways and railroad route.
