Location

The Area

The Stone School is located on the road to Mt. Greylock State Reservation, just off on Route 7 .in Lanesboro, Massachusetts, and 19 miles north of exit 2 of the Massachusetts Turnpike (US 90).   

The Old Stone School is the middle of the Berkshires, about half way between Lenox (Tanglewood) and Williamstown (the Clark Art Institute and the Williamstown Theatre Festival and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in nearby North Adams).  We are less than a mile from the Mount Greylock Visitor Center and about 10 minutes from Jiminy Peak Ski Area.  There is no better spot to enjoy the fall foliage.

From the Mass Turnpike (US 90)

Take the Mass Pike (US 90), to Exit 2 (Lee), which is at mile marker 11. After paying toll, take a RIGHT onto Route 20 West.  Route 20 eventually becomes Route 7 North.   Just follow this road for about 19 miles, until you arrive at our street. You will pass through the towns of Lee, Lenox and Pittsfield before arriving in Lanesboro.  Follow the directions below

From Lenox or Pittsfield

From Lenox, take Route 7 North.  In Pittsfield, you need to watch the signs for Rte 7 carefully. Route 7 turns to the right to take you around Park Square, in the middle of Pittsfield, and you will then need to take a left to continue on Route 7.

You'll cross into Lanesboro at the far end of Pontoosuc Lake. At the streetlight (the only streetlight in Lanesboro), you will see a big green sign for the Berkshire Mall. Our street, is almost exactly 3 miles north of this point

After a couple miles, keep an eye out for a life-sized horse in a cage (at a Tack store) and a stone church (built at the same time as the schoolhouse) on your left. Just after that, you will see -- on the right -- a brown sign for Mount Greylock Visitor Center, and then a small blue sign with a camper on it. Take this RIGHT, onto North Main Street (the street sign is tiny). (You have gone too far if you pass the Par 4 Mini Golf/Go Carts sign on your right .)
