LENOX â The townâs historic downtown district and nearby residential neighborhoods are being proposed for designation to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission has been interested in this honorary distinction for the title of Lenox Village Historic District since 2017, when the town celebrated the 250th anniversary of its founding.
Now, a legally required public informational session to discuss the nomination is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 24, via Zoom, hosted by the Lenox Historical Commission.
A representative of the state Historical Commission will be available to answer any questions about the meaning of the designation.
A total of 264 residential and commercial properties, all constructed before 1944, are included for the proposed designation because they contribute to the historical significance of the town, according to Olga Weiss, who chairs the Lenox Historical Commission.
