Conway Massachusetts
The Town of Conway is located on State Route 116 in
the foothills of the Berkshires just west of the Connecticut
River Valley. Home of one of the few remaining covered
bridges in Massachusetts, Conway was incorporated in
1767 named in honor of General Henry Conway, who supported
the repeal of the Stamp Act in Parliament.
Conway boasts a number of maple sugar houses and is
the site of the Conway State Forest and South River
State Forest. One of the community's most famous residents
was Marshall Field, the developer of Marshall Field
Department Store in Chicago. Born and raised in Conway,
Fields donated the Memorial Library to the town in honor
of his parents.
