While you’re downtown, you’ll also see some of area’s historic buildings, including a church that dates back to the 1780s, which features a 150-foot steeple and Seth Thomas clock. Downtown Lee is also home to the only remaining Carnegie Library in the Berkshires. The original part of the building was constructed in 1907 and both the original structure and the 1977 addition were made with marble that was quarried in Lee. This town has been famous for the high quality of its marble—dating back to the 1850s.
