The Town of Cummington is a small rural community located at the western end of Hampshire County in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains.  It is a residential and farming community which takes pride in maintaining its "old time" country New England flavor. 

The town boasts many historical properties of significance including the William Cullen Bryant Homestead, and Kingman Tavern, the town's Historical Museum, felt by residents to be one of the finest examples of a rural town historical museum in the state.

Cummington is rich in cultural diversity.  It is the home of the Cummington Community of Arts and is the location of a variety of craft and art shows throughout the year.  The Hillside Agricultural Society holds its highly respected fair at the fairgrounds at the end of August each year.  And, while their opinion is admittedly biased, the residents of Cummington make the claim of having the most spectacular fall foliage anywhere.
