The best place to view early New England architecture is at the Storrowton Village Museum. This recreated village, which is made up of dismantled and reassembled buildings circa 1767–1850, includes knowledgeable staff members and provides an authentic and educational glimpse into 18th- and 19th-century New England life. When you want a leisurely excursion, explore New England's history at the Josiah Day House Museum. Dating back to 1754, it is the oldest known brick saltbox style house in the United States. All the furnishings and artifacts are dated pre-1902, and many are even original Day family items.
Another entertaining venue for visitors of all ages is the Springfield Science Museum. From dinosaur fossils to exotic animals and a planetarium, visitors will be amazed by the exhibits at this museum just across the river in downtown Springfield. Also in this area is the enchanting Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden at the Springfield Museum. The town where Dr. Seuss was born pays tribute to the beloved children's author by immortalizing some of his most popular characters in bronze. Have a fun time out at Q Pin 2's. This billiard hall features plenty of pool tables, a casual atmosphere and a great bar. You can also grab a bite to eat.
