Constitution Hill

Anyone who has enjoyed a stellar plate of wings on the back porch of the Old Forge in Lanesborough has enjoyed the view of Constitution Hill.  Named for the fire set at the top in 1789 to notify neighboring towns that the Constitution had been ratified, the hill is the centerpiece of 251 acres that BNRC manages as recreational land and demonstration forest.  This property has actively farmed fields, and actively managed forests as well as an old wood road loop that takes visitors to the top of the hill.
