Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Charlotte Duncan and Ross Chesnick
We hope you will enjoy a relaxing summer weekend with some wedding celebrations thrown in! Northampton is a wonderful college town with lots of shops, bars, restaurants, music venues, and bike paths/rentals. It is very walkable and bike-able (with cabs and Lyft/Uber available as well). Smith College is right in town, with a lovely campus, museum, and botanical garden. Beautiful hiking, swimming, and golf are also nearby. We will continue to build out the list of our favorite things to do (and eat!) in and around Northampton. If you have questions or want help planning an activity, please let us know and we would be happy to advise! Charlotte's sister, Laura, and her spouse, Lark, lived in Northampton for multiple summers and are our local experts!
