What to Do in Salem Massachusetts

July 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

While seafood (especially lobster and clams) prevails at many restaurants, you can find almost any type of food here. Restaurants come and go. And menus change frequently. But here are […]

Williamstown Massachusetts is a small, pretty college town on the Massachusetts/Vermont/New York border. The town itself is lovely with its two-block long commercial street (Spring Street) old buildings, and school campus. We decided to stay in Williamstown for 2 nights. This would work for many people but it was not a good decision for us.  […]
