Discover history, scenery, charm west of western Massachusetts

Whether you’re visiting the region’s many colleges or just playing tourist, western Massachusetts is an interesting destination. There are towns dating back three centuries, main streets that seem simultaneously old-fashioned and trendy, and lots of bucolic rural scenery, from small farms to fall foliage. The area is about a two-hour drive from Boston and three hours from New York City. People walk along the “Bridge of Flowers,” a 400-foot pedestrian bridge over the Deerfield River connecting Shelburne Falls and Buckland, Mass., that was built in 1908 for a trolley. The Frary House is among the 18th-century homes in Deerfield, Mass., a town that was the site of a colonial settlement.
