Farnam's in the Berkshire's
Cheshire, Massachusetts · opened 1938lost 1955
Thanks to Chris , we first heard about this area in Cheshire. Here are his details: In the Berkshire Town of Cheshire MA (7 miles North of Pittsfield) was the Farnams of the Berkshires Ski Area which operated from the 1930s to the late 1950s? Trains used to drop off people near Rte 8 where the would cross the road and make the trek up the mountain. Today you can still see the remnants of the ski trail on the mountain.
