Limo service from Boston to Pittsfield MA

Pittsfield lies on the headstreams of the Housatonic River, in the Berkshire Hills. Settled in 1752 as the Pontoosuc Plantation, it was incorporated as a town in 1761 and named for the English prime minister William Pitt. It developed from a farming to an industrial community during the early 19th century because of abundant waterpower.

Pittsfield now has a diversified economy; a wide variety of plastics are produced, and health care, business services, and the insurance business are also prominent. The city is a tourist base for the Berkshire Hills. Here you can visit Pittsfield State Forest, swim in lakes, try ski resorts in winter or walk at state parks. No matter what the season, Pittsfield always has something going on. Visit local fairs, festivals, parades, and concerts. Your family will definitely enjoy Pittsfield’s activities. All year around this town has something to offer: from harvest celebrations and baby animals at Hancock Shaker Village (which was originally established in the 18th century) to art shows and festivals at streets and museums. Herman Melville lived there and completed Moby Dick at his house, Arrowhead; the Berkshire Athenaeum (the public library) stores Melville memorabilia.
