The Pioneer Valley in Western MA is a very special place to us. We hope you can explore, get to know the area, or visit your favorite spots!
North Quabbin Garlic & Arts Festival
60 Chestnut Hill Road, Orange, MA 01364
An event near and dear to our hearts that happens to fall this year on our wedding weekend! While there are of plenty of garlic-related points of interest at this event, you can also expect to find excellent food from local restaurants, handcrafted goods from local artisans, and music from local performers.
The Montague Bookmill
440 Greenfield Road, Montague, MA 01351
If you've ever been, you already know. If you haven't been, go!
Emily Dickinson Museum
280 Main Street, Amherst, MA 01002
If you have the time, the tours given at this museum are some of the best of their kind. (This is natural, considering that Emily Dickinson is—objectively—the greatest nineteenth-century American poet!)
