Things To Do
Share Your Photos & Videos
Please help us capture memories from the weekend! It will be especially helpful if you take some photos and videos of the dancing portion of the reception, as well as the Welcome Party on Saturday. Those times are when our photographer will not be present. Thank you so much!
Clark Art Institute
Not only should you visit the art exhibits, but the grounds are incredible and there are acres and acres of lawns and walking trails to explore. It's so beautiful!
MASS MoCA
Globally renowned contemporary art museum in a gorgeous old textile mill in North Adams, just a quick 10 minute drive from Williamstown. It's a must see! The industrial campus also offers shops, a cafe, ice cream, and a brewery that we like.
Sand Springs Pool & Recreation Center
Ali has fond memories of coming here in the summers as a kid and swimming for hours on end with her cousins! This is one of the oldest spas in North America and one of the only thermal springs in New England. A community recreation center with a pool and a sauna. Day passes available!
Bright Ideas Brewing
We love to visit new breweries when we travel. We've been here twice and have enjoyed it! Great to pair with a visit to Mass MoCA since they are on the same campus.
Spring Street
Take a walk down Spring Street, which is Williamstown's main street, and check out the local businesses - coffee, ice cream, and shops. We love Lickety Split & The Purple Pub!
Williams College
Stroll around campus! It's gorgeous. You can't visit Williamstown without experiencing Williams College. They are inseparable. Williams College holds a very special place in the Chandler family as it is where Chip and Michele Chandler (Ali's uncle and aunt) first met and began dating. Ali works as a college consultant - so spending time walking around campuses is one of her favorite hobbies. For those of you who are parents, is it too early to begin "checking out" colleges? Ali doesn't think so. ;) Campus will be relatively quiet as almost all students will be moved out for summer - except seniors who will celebrate their graduation the following weekend. Grab yourself a Williams shirt... Go Ephs!
