Welcome to the Colonial Carriage and Driving Society’s web site. This site is intended to give up-to-date information about our club meetings and special events. The Society welcomes everyone to join the club, whether you drive carriage horses or just have an interest in the history and traditions of carriage driving. Open meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm at Orleton Farm in Stockbridge, Mass. Some meetings feature an informational speaker as well as the normal business.


  • CCDS Christmas Party: December 1 5-8 pm

Greetings,

The holiday season is fast approaching, and we have a few things to announce before the New Year.

Save the date of December 1st for our annual Christmas party. It’s early this year because Harvey and Mary are providing us with a special treat, and they want to be able to celebrate the holiday with us before heading south. The party will be Sunday from 5-8 pm. A private chef will be preparing our Christmas dinner so all we have to do is bring ourselves, family or a friend.

Please RSVP Maureen by NOVEMBER 25TH. 413-822-1028.

Please check “Listing of Events” on this site for details on other upcoming events. The Society hosts a variety of events, such as driving clinics, informal drives, the Orleton Farm Pleasure Driving Show, Winter Classic Sleigh Rally, Lenox Tub Parade, and Summer Fun Day. Fun Day was created as an opportunity for recreational drivers, as well as seasoned whips, to experience games and friendly competition. The members enjoy the social aspect the Society brings to each meeting and special event, where friends get together to have fun, drive their horses, and to learn more about carriage driving.

The Colonial Carriage and Driving Society was officially formed on January 15, 1989. Twenty-five years later, the club continues to grow and offer many exciting activities. Come to our events or join our club and enjoy the history and tradition of carriage driving.
