Stockbridge Bowl

In 1841 Edward Hitchcock published, Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts. His book included illustrations drawn by a variety of local artists and included this image of “Stockbridge Pond,” which is our Stockbridge Bowl.

Hitchcock wrote, “a view of Stockbridge Pond, in the north part of the town, with the surrounding scenery; and will give you a good idea of this kind of landscape in Berkshire [County].”
