Goshen, Massachusetts, was incorporated in 1781 and is one of the "Hill" towns of western Massachusetts. Several lakes and a state forest make Goshen a destination for tourists. This picture is of The Whale Inn. The building dates to the late 18th century and has hearthstones of Goshen schist stone.
