About Williamstown
uxton is located in the jewel of Berkshire County – the incomparable Williamstown, Massachusetts. As one of the key capitals of arts, culture and intellectualism in the country, Williamstown has forged a community that is both inclusive and diverse, historical and cutting-edge, rural and sophisticated.
Williams College, consistently ranked the number one liberal arts college in America, is at the heart of the town. The college attracts the top students and faculty in the country through its remarkable campus, world-class architecture, including one of the AIA’s ‘top libraries in the world,’ and unparalleled cultural activities and athletics.
Other treasures of our community include:
- The Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute – Neighboring Buxton, ‘the Clark’ is a premiere small art museum, boasting what some critics call ‘the finest Impressionist collection in the world’ and a recently opened outdoor space designed by Pritzer Prize-winning Tadao Ando. Buxton students are invited to avail themselves of its excellent art library.
- The Williams College Museum of Art – Widely considered the best college art museum in the country, the Williams College Museum of Art is the vibrant centerpiece of our town, with more than 14,000 pieces in its collection.
Where to Stay:
- MassMOCA – The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art features a rotating display of the top contemporary art on display today and a long-term, unmatched Sol Lewitt show. Performers including Beck, the National and Wilco come every summer to transform the valley with their music.
.
There is also no shortage of athletic endeavors to be had in the Berkshires, including skiing at Jiminy Peak, hiking on Mount Greylock and wandering through the 2600-acre Hopkins Memorial Forest, to name just a few.

"Buxton has given me the freedom to be the person I want to be, make the art I want to make, and learn the things I want to learn. At Buxton we learn not only in the classroom, but in the community. We learn how to be good to each other and how to support each other. Buxton has so much to offer students, both inside the classroom and outside of it."Great Barrington, MA

“I felt instantly at home when I stepped on the campus. At Buxton, we are in school 24/7. We learn things in the classroom, but we really learn valuable things outside of the classroom. We learn how to work with others and respect each other’s spaces. Our education surrounds us and we learn new things everyday.”Albany, NY
