Amherst College Museum of Natural History

Reviewed By 661maryannh

This museum was originally a "time-filler" between activities while we were visiting our son at UMass for the weekend. Once we arrived at the museum, we were pleasantly surprised at the variety of topics covered. Although many of the exhibits were display molds, a good number were genuine artifacts discovered through archaeological digs and findings. the museum is located in a great area - centrally located to anything we needed. Added bonus that the exhibit was free; we'll be back!

Mead Art Museum

Reviewed By Carmelo352 - Amherst, United States

I have visited the Mead Art Museum over three dozen times in the past 39 years and I have never been disappointed. The art collection is outstanding and ever changing. The museum is located on the Amherst College Campus and I have often combined my visits there with a relaxing walk on the campus. There are sweeping views of the Holyoke Range at the top of the hill near the museum.

Fort Hill Brewery

Reviewed By tomoK8364IH - West Suffield, United States

Real nice craft brew pub in East Hampton. Very convenient right off the Mannheim bike trail between Rt 5 and East Hampton. If you are riding through from Belchertown or Northampton this is a great stopping off point. Almost always have a food truck out in the back lot. Very good food as well as craft brews.

Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge

Reviewed By ShelHorowitz - Hadley, United States

Beautiful and fully accessible boardwalk that crams half a dozen ecosystems into a loop of about a mile. I go there several times a year, because it's aways different: the leaf colors, the incredible bird diversity, the interaction of forest, marsh, and open plain. Plus it's a place I can take people who don't hike well enough to do the more challenging trails in the area.

We've been here many times to hike along many trails and it is always a pleasure. Listen for frogs in the vernal pools in spring!
