Do you like museums? How about kayaking? A world of variety is close by in western Mass. and southern Vermont. It's only a 15 minute drive to Berkshire East or 45 minutes to Mount Snow. Within one hour you can drive to the Clark Museum (Williamstown, MA), Mass MOCA, Smith College (Northampton, MA), Amherst College and the University of Mass. (Amherst, MA) museums.

How about seeing the town where several major motion pictures were filmed - Labor Day (2013) and The Judge (2014). Shelburne Falls is a short 15 minute trip back in time. This interesting little town has great restaurants, the historic Bridge of Flowers, the glacial pot holes and shopping. Did I mention shopping and Yankee Candle's flagship store (South Deerfield, MA), Kringle Candle (Bernardston, MA)? Travel to Vermont is minutes away. Wilmington has restaurants and small shoppes.
