Things To Do
Tree House Brewing Company - Charlton
We visited Tree House for the first time in November when searching for a venue for the rehearsal dinner. Though we were unable to schedule with them, the place itself is a must-see for beer-lovers! The space is resort-like and, if you bring food, a few games or a deck of cards, you can easily spend an entire day there!
Rock House Reservation & Museum (Second entrance point)
(from Rock House website): The cave-like Rock House Reservation and its surroundings offer an intriguing blend of geologic and human history. Glaciers once pushed, pulled, and scraped over New England, forming the landscape and leaving behind boulders in improbable places. Forests transformed into farmlands; ponds and streams powered mills. And now, the landscape is reverting to what it once was. Rock House’s mammoth proportions and southern exposure made it an excellent winter camp for Native Americans. In the mid-17th century, colonists cleared the forests of West Brookfield for farming. In 1866, pastures around the Rock House were added to a 281-acre farm on Ragged Hill Road owned by William Adams, whose family would tend the land for more than 125 years. And in the early 20th century, Rock House became a popular stop on the “Copper Line,” an electric trolley that ran between West Brookfield and Ware.
Old Sturbridge Village
from website: The stories of the past come to life! Visit our village to interact with costumed historians and learn about life in the 19th century. Catch demonstrations, browse our exhibits, and explore the historic village and the local town. Spend a day or a whole weekend here when you plan your summer getaway in Sturbridge, MA!
Ye Olde Tavern
We found this place when searching for a rehearsal dinner spot (and did choose it as the place)! Delicious food and fun cocktails with an overall classic pub feel--a highly recommended stop if staying in the area before or after the wedding!
