Hub & Spoke Heaven: Western Mass

Naturally, we’d prefer that every visitor spend all of their time right in Western Mass. But we also know that some group planers are looking to find that perfect “home base” and use it to head out on daily “spoke” tours.  If that’s your need, every map of New England will show that Greater Springfield is “Hub Central.”  All roads lead here, to the “Crossroads of New England,” and therefore, all those roads can readily lead you right back out to a wealth of nearby attractions.

From this one spot, in just ONE hour, your groups can easily reach:

* The Berkshires

* Southern Vermont/New Hampshire

* Greater Hartford CT

* Sturbridge/Worcester MA

And in TWO hours, add:

* Boston

* Newport RI

* Albany

* CT/RI shoreline

With Bradley International Airport as the gateway, Western Mass is ideal for domestic and international travel!
