LENOX, Mass. — On Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025 at 5:30 p.m., Lenox Library will hold a special book event to celebrate the publication of "A History of Lenox" by Lenox local and former country treasurer, George H. Tucker. 

 

This book is nearly 90 years old and yet it has never been published – until now, in a new, enhanced edition.

 

George H. Tucker was in the midst of writing A History of Lenox when his sudden death in 1936 left his manuscript unpublished. It was donated to the Lenox Library in 1959 as part of the Rockwell Papers Collection. Decades later, many additional manuscript pages were discovered while completing a full inventory of the Rockwell Papers. After years of reorganization, editing, and the addition of new material, all the disparate manuscript pages have been integrated into A History of Lenox.

 

Lenox Library Information Librarian Christy Córdova and volunteer Jim Biancolo will present this historical and educational resource for local residents, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the history of Lenox, Massachusetts. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
