SUMMARY:Orchard Day and Arrowhead Cider Launch
DESCRIPTION:Berkshire County Historical Society celebrates Orchard Day with a guided history hike\, family activities\, and a hard cider and beer tasting.

Berkshire Cider Project and Hot Plate Brewing will lead guided tastings of ciders and beers made as part of the Berkshire250 and MA250 celebration of American Independence. Kids of all ages can enjoy fresh pressed cider and cider donuts. \n10am – Start the day with a hike up Constitution Hill in Lanesborough\, a Berkshire Natural Resources Council property\, and learn about the history of the site. After the hike\, taste “Constitution Hill\,” a hard cider created by Berkshire Cider Project to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and learn about its development.  \nThe hike is 1.7 miles round trip and is moderate. Meet at the trailhead: https://www.bnrc.org/reserves/constitution-hill. Please note: Due to bridge construction on Bridge Street\, please access Constitution Hill trailhead via Putnam Road\, then take a right onto Meadow Lane. This brings you back to Bridge Street and bypasses the construction. \nBACK AT ARROWHEAD\nNoon-2pm – Join us for tours of the orchard and cider tastings with Berkshire Cider Project. Learn about our unique cider made from Arrowhead apples and how Melville made his own cider in the nineteenth century. Cider press\, button making\, and yard games for kids and free cider donuts. \n1pm – Historical hard cider and beer tasting flight and presentation – Taste Arrowhead Cider and Constitution Hill Cider and two local Hot Plate Brewing Company beers\, and hear from cidermakers about the planting of our orchard.\nTickets are $15 for BCHS members\, $20 non-members and can be purchased by using the BOOK NOW button.  Must be 21+ to participate. \nThis event is sponsored by Massachusetts Cultural Council and Greylock Federal Credit Union\, and The Feigenbaum Foundation. \n \n
