Lush pastures and woodlands, clean waterways, small towns and villages, set amid the East Coast’s urban sprawl.

The Last Green Valley is designated a National Heritage Corridor, a treasure tucked a world away from the stress and bustle of the 21st century. And it's a treasure we don’t mind sharing with a few neighbors.

Visit us in the spring, when the fields and forests turn a delicate green. Stroll through the open landscape of the nation’s history, enjoy a spot of English tea, a meal at our award-wining restaurants, or some sweet maple confections. Wander through an outdoor art festival or watch the streaming colors of a small-town parade.

Vacation with us in the summer and enjoy hiking, biking, and water sports. Take a farm tour, go berry picking, or enjoy the many band concerts, Colonial militia musters, street festivals, and country fairs. Journey back in time at our historic houses or living museums like Old Sturbridge Village.

Come in the fall, when the green of summer turns to gold and we celebrate with more than 100 free, guided hikes, strolls and ambles in our Walking WeekendS. See how corn mazes and pumpkins are carved from nature’s bounty, and relish the tang of hot apple cider.

Stretch your legs and your mind in winter, when the valley’s green has turned a frosty white, when trails await the tread of snowshoes and cross-country skis, when the warmth of art galleries and antique shops beckon and early-ending days are capped by a blazing fire and a sense of contentment at one of our historic B & Bs.

Don’t miss any of our seasons of enjoyment. If you have any questions, you’re welcome to call us toll-free at 1 (866) 363-7226.
