The History:
In 1898, the state Legislature established Mt. Greylock as the Commonwealth’s first State Reservation. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) designed the lodge with its low profile, integration of the building into the summit’s contours, and the use of native materials, all of which typified the CCC's design theory used throughout the country’s national and state park systems.
Bascom Lodge has served day and overnight visitors to Mt. Greylock for 70 years, including through-hikers on the Appalachian Trail.

Work to clean and freshen the interior of the Lodge will soon begin, and (if all goes well) it will be open for July 4th (if not sooner).
