I moved to the area in 1990 and first came upon the Fairgrounds on my way to St Elizabeth’s Church. I have often walked the track for both mental and physical nourishment. So peaceful are the sounds of the river on one side , and the structures resembling a NormanRockwell painting of Stockbridge on the other.
Sitting on a bench near the bleachers under the waving American flag stirs a love of country.
Thank you all for history behind all the beginnings,
