Mason Library in the heart of Great Barrington
Mason Library, called "the most beautiful library in America" was designed by Blanchard & Barnes of New York. Mary A. Mason, widow of Captain Henry Hobart Mason, left $50,000 to build and furnish a new library, to replace one in a clapboard house previously on the site. Mrs. Mason summered in Great Barrington and is buried here. Dedicated July 24, 1913, the library was rededicated April 2007 after extensive renovations that doubled its size and made it handicapped accessible.

Mason Library will be closed June 29 and 30
for Children's Room renovation
