This page contains information, including links to slides and other resources, connected to the OLLI course I conducted in the Spring of 2019 on local (Berkshire) history. I had chosen six locales where I had become acquainted with the properties discussed by hiking or horseback riding on them.

So, this may seem like a pirouette for the grandstand, but here is a link to an interview I did<\/a><\/strong> to help publicize the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
