Great Barrington souvenirs and shopping

  • Great Barrington is home to a successful local currency experiment. The local currency is called BerkShares[1]. You can use BerkShares and hundreds of stores and businesses throughout the Berkshires. Using Berkshares helps local businesses and community residents by increasing the local money supply. Visitors and shoppers benefit as Berkshares can be purchased at several local banks for 90% of face value and redeemed at full value at local merchants. Berkshares banknotes are beautiful notes featuring images of local artists and historical figures.
