Hampshire County is one of those rare places where you can be yourself.

Want to strut down the street wearing a bright pink wig? We say, “Let your freak flag fly.” Want to spend your weekend holed up in a library researching the history of artichokes? More power to you.

We’ll let you be you, because we’re a mish-mash community ourselves. We’re pioneers, farmers, academics, bookworms, builders, activists, artists, athletes, suits, hippies, and traditionalists all mingling together and appreciating our differences.

When you’re in Western Massachusetts, you don’t have to worry about fitting in or sticking out – we’re just glad you’re here.
