| Belchertown, situated on Route 9 just ten miles southeast of Amherst, is
the second largest town, in area, in Massachusetts. First settled in 1731,
it is the perfect blend of a quaint old New England town and a modern
bedroom community. Its striking town green, ringed with white churches and
colonial homes, is the site of band concerts, festivals and community
activities throughout the year. The annual Belchertown Fair, one of the
oldest continuously operated fairs in the country, takes place there each
October.
Over a half-million visitors every year hike the trails and fish the waters
of the Quabbin Reservoir. Five Connecticut River Valley towns were flooded
in the 1930s to make way for this domestic-use reservoir, one of the
largest and most spectacular in the country. Wildlife lovers flock there
each winter to catch glimpses of the Quabbin's resident eagle population;
they are also welcome at the state's McLaughlin Fish Hatchery just down the
road, to learn about trout and salmon culture.
Residents feel that the jewel in Belchertown's crown is the Stone House
Museum, a gracious 1827 stone structure containing period Connecticut
Valley antiques and furnishings. Owned and operated by the Belchertown
Historical Association, the museum is open two days a week from May through
October and hosts social and educational events throughout the year.
Along with a traveler's own discoveries about scenic Belchertown, stone
walls, ancient elms and maples and lovely homes can be found along the
town''''s 180 miles of paved roads. |
