NATURE’S TURN: Town of Mount Washington’s ring of summits — two State Forest Reserves high on list of ‘Last Great Places’
The center of the Town of Mount Washington, Mass. is at the base of Mount Everett (2,602 feet), the highest summit of nine that ring the village on the Taconic Plateau, a sub-range of the Appalachian Mountains that run from Newfoundland to Alabama. A non-commercial settlement, the third least populous in the state, a town hall and church mark its center. The Town of Mount Washington is carved out of the most intact forest ecosystem in southern New England.
