Richmond is a small, rural community
in western Massachusetts, abutting the New York State border and just
south of the city of Pittsfield, where many of its residents work.
Richmond is 14 miles north of Great
Barrington and 145 miles west of Boston. It is noted for its scenic
beauty, with tree-lined roads and shadows cast across the many fields
by the surrounding Berkshire hills.
The town is principally residential in
nature, with only a handful of commercial enterprises and several
orchards and farms. There are many part-time residents of Richmond
from New York City or the Boston area involved in business or the
arts who have chosen Richmond as their second homes for its beauty
and privacy. The 1600 year round residents of Richmond express a
strong sense of community.
