<p>I am visiting Boston with my family this weekend. I will be visiting Williams, Smith, and Amherst, among others. I have almost a 24-hour window between visiting Smith and Amherst to tour around the area, and I was hoping to get some suggestions of what to visit.</p>
<p>I've read a few threads similar to this but I'm afraid they may be outdated. Places to eat, landmarks to see, parks, etc. Any suggestions would be great!</p>
<p>Well, not exactly Boston–Williams is just over 3 hours west of Boston, and Smith and Amherst are about 2 hours west (although only 20 min away from each other!). The Berkshires (around Williams) are beautiful with many attractions–or you could take the 2 hour trip to Boston. If you let us know which way you are inclined, I’m sure lots of people could give suggestions.</p>
<p>We’re also going to Boston to visit Harvard after Amherst, sorry for the miscommunication! </p>
<p>I’m interested in suggestions around Smith and Amherst (from the afternoon on), and then later in the Boston area (in the evening). </p>
<p>I just looking up the Berkshires and it seems wonderful! Williams is my first stop, so perhaps I can drop by a little before!</p>
<p>The Clark Museum in Williamstown is outstanding as is the amazing MASS MOCA in North Adams, just up the road from Williamstown but just driving around the Berkshires is also great!</p>
<p>In Boston, if you haven’t been, definitely do the basic tourist stuff–Public Gardens, Boston Commons (are the swan boats running this time of year?), Faneuil hall, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you both for the wonderful suggestions! I will definitely try to go see them.</p>
<p>Again, Harvard is also not in Boston. It doesn’t sound like you are doing anything in Boston. lol.</p>
<p>Hahahah I’m just so unclear online!
We’re going to drive through sometime during the afternoon/evening.</p>
<p>There’s a bakery called [url=<a href=“http://flourbakery.com/]Flour[/url”>http://flourbakery.com/]Flour[/url</a>]. Go there, it’s great.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll try my best to check it out!</p>
