The region of Arcadia in ancient Greece had a mythical status in art and literature as an earthly paradise. Idyllic rural areas like the Berkshires, considered modern-day arcadias, attracted artists and writers as well as wealthy summer residents who built country houses as retreats from the increasingly crowded and industrialized cities of the Northeast.
