Lenox Dale is a village in
Lenox,
Massachusetts,
United States at the border of the town of
Lee, along the
Housatonic River. It is a small village, but a village nonetheless with its own post office (zip code 01242), school, two stores, and a Catholic church. The main street in the town is Crystal Street. Crystal street got its name for the large amounts of crystals found in the area. In the earlier times, it depended upon the river to provide power for its paper mills. More recently the largest employer was Lenox Machine Company, which made paper industry equipment. Lenox Machine was acquired by Beloit Corp in 1979, which was acquired by Harnischfeger of Germany, which went bankrupt in 1999. It is apparently now a part of Groupe Laperrière & Verreault (GLV) of Canada. There is also a marble quarry on the border with the town of
Washington.
