Travel to Northampton MA
We have scheduled this program to make a daytrip possible for most of the region -- we will begin 4:30PM and end by no later than 8PM. Northampton is within a radius of three hours or less from most of New England (about 2 hours from Boston and 3 hours from Portland ME and Burlington VT). If you are planning to stay over, however, please note that we have recently learned that the hotels in and around Northampton are fully booked. You may want to look for something a little further out and in the direction of your destination. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you need assistance with accommodations, please reach out to Lorin Starr at director@wmaia.org
