Smith College

Reviewed By TrainManDan10 - Keene, United States

While at the College to see the Botanic Gardens, I was impressed by the lovely layout of the grounds, which were first class. The campus is only one mile from the Amtrak Northampton Train Station, which makes for a very convenient way to get to the town, either from the north of south for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. In the summer, Amtrak will run two more round trip trains to Northampton to add to the existing one round trip train.

Mount Holyoke College

Reviewed By H9796XXdavids

The annual Vespers service at Abbey Chapel is an extraordinary event. The Mount Holyoke College Choirs are talented singers and the accompaniments are equally talented, including organ, piano, flutes, cello, electric guitar, drums and others. They presented a wide variety of Christmas and holiday music, with numerous opportunities for the audience to sing well known Christmas carols with the choirs. Kudos to Mount Holyoke College and its faculty, staff and students for presenting this exceptional Christmas gift free to the public.

R. Michelson Galleries

Reviewed By Cosmopolitan383995

The Michelson Galleries are full of surprises for both what is on display at length there and for their special exhibits. Many major artists choose to show their work at Michelsons, whose owner, Richard Michelson, is also a poet, a playwright, a children's book writer and so much more .... and a significant national prizewinner!

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!

Norwottuck Rail Trail

Ten-mile bike path on the old tracks of the Boston and Maine railroad.

Reviewed By 180larryp - Northampton, United States

I run on the Norwottuck Rail Trail. It's perfect: clean, scenic, mostly flat-flatty-flat-flat. This trail, this route, this option is one of the reasons I'm so happy to live in the Connecticut River Valley.
