For a county as old as the Berkshires, it would be impossible not to have our share of the paranormal. With well over 116,000 acres of the region conserved for public land use, it’s also no surprise that many of these spooky encounters occurred during recreational activities like hiking. 👻 🦇💀 🥾
Berkshire Family Hikes is always looking for inroads to get more people exploring their outdoors, and maybe a jaunt with the things that haunt our local woods is precisely the adventure you’ve been searching for. Hit the link in the bio, if you dare...

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, our homesch

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, our homeschool crew took a field trip to Stockbridge, the location of a Mohican village Wnahktukuk, that would later become colonized by missionary John Sergeant and others. The Stockbridge-Munsee were displaced to Oneida and later to a reservation in Wisconsin. We walked their former lands along Main Street, visited the Indian Burying Ground, the Mission House, and the memorials of Chief Konkapot & two Stockbridge Indian women. This was a way to connect the kids with the history we’ve been reading in books with a deeper rooted context of their own unique local environment, history and culture. BONUS: Swipe to the end to see the legen-dairy biology lesson we all received during our travels. Place-based education is full of surprises 🐄😆 For more information about the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, visit www.mohican.com 📍Land of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans
