**Adams** is a small town in the northern Berkshires, situated between Mount Greylock (Massachusetts' highest peak) and the Hoosac Range. Once a thriving mill town powered by the Hoosic River, Adams has preserved much of its 19th-century industrial architecture while transitioning to a quieter, rural community. The town is close to Natural Bridge State Park, featuring the only natural marble bridge in North America.
