SUMMARY:Downtown Pittsfield Walk – Neighbors and Strangers
DESCRIPTION:Led by Cynthia Farr Brown\, Neighbors and Strangers links the “big story” of America’s rapidly changing population during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, as European immigrants flocked to the United States to realize opportunities and escape oppression or catastrophe\, to a series of sites in downtown Pittsfield. Learn about how Irish\, German\, French\, and Italian immigrants came to Pittsfield\, settled themselves and their families\, and contributed to the Berkshire community. \nThis approximately ninety-minute walk begins at the Berkshire Athenaeum\, Wendell Avenue.  \nAbout Cynthia Farr Brown\nBrown is President of the Board of Directors of the Berkshire County Historical Society at Arrowhead.
