Wander over to Western Gateway Heritage State Park - it's a short walk from MoCA - to learn about the city's railroad history. Did you know the Hoosac Tunnel, once the longest train tunnel in North America, was dug right here in the Berkshire Hills? Then head to the Museum of History and Science to find our Colonial roots and how we helped put men in space.
The 10th Massachusetts will be camping on the lawn of the North Adams Public Library from 10 to 3 on Saturday at the top of Main Street.

There's plenty to eat: Pick up fresh produce on Saturday morning on Eagle Street to take home. On Saturday night, cafes, restaurants and pizzerias will be open in around the downtown after Wilco exits the stage. Music, food and more until 2.
Before you swing into Mass MoCA on Saturday, take a stroll down our historic Eagle Street to try some fresh produce and browse the arts and crafts booths. The market is open from 9 to 2, plenty of time to make the festival performances.
You just saw Wilco on Saturday and aren't ready to call it a night. Why not walk around the corner and chill for awhile on Main Street? The city is staying open late, so have a beer, a bite to eat and browse the galleries ...
Did we mention DownStreet Art?
