Western Massachusetts Hilltown Hikers

Western Massachusetts is far off the beaten path.....which is it's advantage. Far from the urban hustle and bustle, the sleepy Hilltowns nestled in hollows and along wild and scenic rivers are an unspoiled wilderness of nature and wildlife. Old growth forests and trees along long ago abandoned roads still stand over one hundred years old. Exotic plants and birds thrive including bald eagles. Bobcat and moose wander the vast protected open spaces, with no threat from man or automobile. The Hilltowns are an outdoor museum of history. Many state forests and conserved properties contain relics of early colonial settlements, factories and transportation including electric street railways, the first stage coach turnpikes and the Western Railroad. Cemeteries from the 1700's are now forested but the stone walls still stand. Saw mills, tanneries and dams are still very distinguishable. Join us to listen and learn about the great historical finds we have made over the years including monuments, caves, lost cemeteries, quarries, ancient ruins and more!
