Stopped by on a Sunday Morning and wandered across the old, Ivy league feeling campus. Almost every student smiled and said hi - so we felt welcomed and at home - even though we don't "go" here. We walked through the Student union which is a converted gymnasium -- now decorated with cool art, comfy sofas and a spiral walk to the third floor where there are many cozy hang out/study spaces. Felt like the Guggenheim museum :) There is also an inviting museum and countless old trees with outstretched arms waiting to greet you too.

The annual Vespers service at Abbey Chapel is an extraordinary event. The Mount Holyoke College Choirs are talented singers and the accompaniments are equally talented, including organ, piano, flutes, cello, electric guitar, drums and others. They presented a wide variety of Christmas and holiday music, with numerous opportunities for the audience to sing well known Christmas carols with the choirs. Kudos to Mount Holyoke College and its faculty, staff and students for presenting this exceptional Christmas gift free to the public.

We have been to Green Briar a couple of times now since we have been visiting in Sandwich. It is a cozy little center with beautiful wild flower gardens and a great early 20th kitchen which was utilized for making home-made jams to sell to the public. Nowadays you can sign up for a class and make various jams depending on which fruits are in season. My husband and I took the class and enjoyed it very much. Emmalee was the teacher and she is very organized and patient. By the end of class we each had five 4 ounce jars of jam to take home with us. Check out Green Briar the next time you are in the area and see what it has to offer you.

University located in Providence.
Reviewed By JBlanc197 - Miami, United States
Although not comparable to nearby Harvard, this is nonetheless a beautiful campus. Buildings are fine old brick structures reminiscent of the old world. The fence bordering the main heart of campus is a thing of beauty in itself, and bears dates which commemorate events and persons integral to the founding and early years of Brown U. The Brown family home can be seen close by and modest by present presidential mansions of other universities. Take the time to venture out to visit this sprawling campus.

A recreated New England village, with authentic period buildings, provides vistors with an intimate view of life in the early 1800s.
Reviewed By GaryW18 - Wakefield, United States
I visited OSV today and full disclosure I am a member. Honestly, it was amazing to see what they have done to try and make the experience authentic for the guests considering the constraints which have been placed on them by the state. Some of the things I noticed were first they provided just as much if not more in the way of interpreters in each of the buildings. Ingeniously, they opened the windows and doors and had the interpreter stand inside in order to maintain the necessary distance. All were as usual dressed in costume and were more then happy to impart information. When the building would not work for this method of presentation they erected a variety of canopies all looking as if they had been made out of a muslin or canvas which fitted in beautifully with the time period. They all seemed unique which made it look like each household had created their own. These were roped off to maintain the appropriate distance but this was hardly noticeable. As for masks they made sure that each person who was presenting had a mask that coordinated with the outfit so it was actually not even noticeable as if it were natural for the wearer to have a face covering. The blacksmith had on a simple muslin type mask while some had calico and others colonial prints that fit in perfectly. It is this attention to detail that helped make the experience enjoyable. This is something I cannot say for any of the places I have visited this summer and certainly so much better than the embarrassing presentation at Mystic Seaport. I would also like to mention the people who work and volunteer there. This stands out more than anything. Having a love of history and being a teacher, I have visited many living history museums and by far and away the people who work at Sturbridge are the most approachable and frankly nice! They do not project the elitist attitude which I have encountered in Williamsburg, Plimoth and Mystic Seaport. They are always willing to answer the questions my grandson asks and he asks many! Now more than ever these living history museums need to look at the way they portray themselves if they wish to survive. I love the way OSV has presented many types of entertainment which use the village as a backdrop such as Christmas by Candle Light, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and even Charlotte's Web for my grand children. I went today with very low expectations due to the mandates issued by the state and was more than pleasantly surprised. I only wish that we could have gotten the chocolate chip cookies, but one cannot have everything. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE VISIT! This place is a true gem and you will not be disappointed. I have written several reviews of OSV over the years and I really feel like they listen to their patrons.

A nonprofit organization educating for sustainability. Its campus is a 1,400-acre working farm, forest, and National Historic Landmark. Year-round walking trails and programs; seasonal inn, property tours, and children's farmyard (mid-May to mid-October)
Reviewed By vagaruy - San Diego, United States
Visited the farms based on the reviews everywhere on the internet and wasn’t disappointed ! The property is huge and offers miles of trails where you can either interact with animals , watch maple trees tapped or marvel at the beautiful inn and the barn . I must say I think the farm offers the best view of the lake . Be prepared to spend at least three hours when visiting to truly enjoy the views offered by the farm .
