The Town of Egremont is located on the New York state line of what is perhaps the General Henry Knox Cannon Trail, renowned for historical significance in the American Revolutionary War for the trail from Fort Ticonderoga to Cambridge, immediately across the Charles River from what has been the City of Boston since 1822 (and the Town of Boston as of the American Revolution).
Not much exists in terms of active tourist amenities within the extremely small, rural community of Egremont. The only notable amenities for tourists include mountain resorts and associated state reservations. Not even Mount Greylock is of significance, as the highest point in Massachusetts is significantly to the north of the Taconic town of Egremont.
