Without further ado ... meet Greylen!
Greylen is a portmanteau - a term coined by author Lewis Carroll in his 1871 book Through the Looking Glass. In the book, Humpty Dumpty explains that a portmanteau is like a suitcase that opens into two halves - it packs two meanings into one word. In this case, it is a combination of Greylock and Glen.
Greylock most commonly refers to Chief Grey Lock (c. 1670–1750), a prominent 18th-century Western Abenaki chief known for resisting British and colonial expansion in New England. His name is honored in Mount Greylock, the highest natural point in Massachusetts and the beautiful backdrop to the Greylock Glen - though some theories suggest the name also refers to the mist, fog, and clouds that often appear like gray hair on the summit of the mountain or the frost the carpets the peak throughout the winter.
The "Glen" is the area locals have come to call the 1,060-acre parcel at the eastern base of the mountain in Adams. It is a Gaelic term which refers to a secluded, wooded valley often with a natural water source and fertile ground historically used for farming and was a common surname of families living in such areas.
Thank you to all who submitted a name and your patience in waiting for the announcement. We had over 300 unique entries and many, including Greylen, were submitted more than once. The Town of Adams Select Board, along with the artist who carved him and brought him to the Center, each selected their favorites from the long list of suggested options and those choices were dropped into a hat (one last worn by Glen Center Director Daniel Doyle while he was a student at Hoosac Valley High School and working a summer job for DCR at the Greylock Glen as a junior park ranger). This week, the newly appointed Town Administrator of Adams Nicholas Caccamo reached into the hat with his eyes closed and officially gave our bear his name.
Come visit Greylen in the Exhibit Hall of the Glen Center where he watches over the Center, the Glen, and the mountain for us all. ... See MoreSee Less
