Come to Visit.
The historic, picturesque Amherst area, with its forested hills and valleys and fertile river plains, is graced with fine restaurants, comfortable inns, and the unique charms of New England’s country traditions. Its thriving downtown, many museums, galleries, craft and art fairs, boutiques, antique shops, bookstores, and entertainment venues provide enjoyment for every taste.
Come to Learn.
At the Emily Dickinson Museum, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, and the National Yiddish Book Center, visitors can celebrate the written word. Town and college/university libraries host rare and special book collections. Students of all ages and from all over the world flock to Amherst College, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts, bringing their traditions and offering a wellspring of cultural diversity.
Come to Live.
Many visitors and students become permanent residents. Beyond these attractions, they find excellent schools and public services in quiet, safe neighborhoods. Public transportation, technological resources and easy access to Boston, New York and Bradley International Airport make it possible to conduct national and international business from this delightful small town.
