Audience members also discovered the significance of the relationship between the ledge and the 1746 attack on Fort Massachusetts located in present-day North Adams. Wendy is author of the book The Forgotten Ledge of Fort Massachusetts and the coloring book Colorful History of Fort Massachusetts. This program is perfect for families hoping to learn more about our local history dating to the earliest days of settlement when North Adams was the westernmost outpost of Massachusetts.
Mrs. Champney is a lifelong resident of North Adams and is a retired McCann Technical School teacher. She hopes to inspire curiosity about local history in students throughout the Berkshires. She serves on the Historical Commission in North Adams and is a member of the Friends of Fort Massachusetts. The home on the Ledge which inspired her book has been in her family since the 1960s. Wendy’s book and coloring book will be available at the lecture for you to enjoy.
