Pocumtuck Mountain
Charlemont, MA
Pocumtuck Mountain as seen at sunrise from Massaemett Mountain
Summary
Pocumtuck Mountain, one of Franklin County's highest points at 1,872', used to be the location of Catamount Old Home Days in the late 1800s. The mountain was crowded with residents as well as honored guests, including a Massachusetts Governor at one point.
Jeeps took their toll on the land in the 1980s and part of the 1990s, however since their banning, Pocumtuck has become forgotten. More recently, the summit of the mountain has been closed to the public by the controversial owner.
