Established in 1753 as a plantation called West Hoosuck, Williamstown is most
widely recognized as the home of Williams
College, a liberal arts school of significant prestige that was chartered
over 200 years ago. The city is also known for its cultural attractions, perhaps
the most interesting of which is the Chapin
Library of Rare Books, where several founding documents of the United
States are on display, including original printings of the Declaration of
Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. Fans of the theater have the chance to catch over 200 performances of
classical and new plays during the Williamstown
Theatre Festival, an annual event that runs from mid June to late August.
The city's Sterling
and Francine Clark Art Institute boasts an extensive collection of French
impressionist art, including several paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
