Paper mills and marble quarries built the town of Lee, with help from nearby forests and power from the Housatonic. The heyday of industry is past, but Lee has held its own, not least because an exit off the Mass Pike makes it “the gateway to the Berkshires.” Lee may be unpretentious, but it has small-town feel and eye-appeal in spades. The steeple on the First Congregational Church is the tallest wooden spire in New England: lift up your eyes.
Lee will welcome you warmly and keep you quite busy....
