HISTORY ABOUT THE INN

Christine's is an authentic 229 year old plus Berkshire cottage Farmhouse located in the foothills of Tom Ball Mountain. In the 1700's a Mr. Robert Turner lived here with his family and it was part of the Turner Farm estate on North Plain Rd in Housatonic MA. Mr. Turner was well known in this community and worked hard for the people to help them out. North Plain road  from the 1700-1800's was the main dirt road to Housatonic, where all the people from Great Barrington would travel to buy their goods weekly." Where Jacks Grill is now." This cottage from the working kitchen to the "best room" has two working  large fireplaces, one bring a Rumford. The Kitchen called the Fireroom is where all the cooking and iceboxes would be. Yet the kitchen was not always such a pleasant place to be usually due to a great deal of smoke from the fireplace

But any one of these fireplaces was the most important feature of the early american keeping room. And still is today with seasonal attention that welcomes all four seasons.
