ALL PROPANE IS THE SAME
3 – 5 at Bidwell House and Museum in Monterey during their popular annual reenactment weekend. Take a front seat to the Battle of Bunker Hill, which occurred on June 17, 1775, setting the stage for the Revolutionary War.
To stay in the revolutionary spirit, visit the Stockbridge Library on January 24, 2026, for a day in the life of Colonial America, from being on the Knox Trail to cooking food to making crafts, and another chance to see American Revolution reenactors at work. As extraordinary as the celebration on July 4, 2026, will be, the party doesn’ t end there. Cultural institutions in the Berkshires are planning exhibits for next season to help us get to know not only artists but cultural leaders of the revolutionary era and their work. Tanglewood will perform music made 250 years ago. The 1777 Battles of Saratoga and Bennington, both day trips from the Berkshires, will be duly commemorated in 2027. The American Revolution lasted until 1783, so keep your party hat handy. We are in for some extraordinary events that will be hard to ignore. n
