Hadley, Massachusetts, originally called Norwottuck, was founded in 1659 by John Russell. Located along the fertile banks of the Connecticut River, the settlement quickly established itself as an agricultural community.  Hadley was officially incorporated two years later in 1661. The community was centered around what came to be known as the Town Common. Agriculture was the heart of the community for more than a century. Despite many challenges in the 1800s, including environmental changes and labor shortages, farmers in the area thrived, exporting their crops as far as Ohio. In 1887, a stop on the Massachusetts Central Railroad was established in the northern part of the Town Common, further increasing accessibility to the town and its exports. Hadley maintained its status as an agricultural hub throughout the twentieth century. Present-day Hadley has seen much more commercial development in the town, but has retained a decent bit of its historic farming landscape as well.

Despite its large amount of open farmland, Hadley has much to offer in the ways of entertainment. You can go for a hike at Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge or have a nice picnic at Skinner State Park. If you are interested in learning more about the town’s history, you can check out places like the Hadley Farm Museum, Porter-Phelps-Huntington House Museum, or Summit House. Some great family activities include bowling at PiNZ or rock climbing at Central Rock Gym. There are also some wonderful places to grab a bite in Hadley such as Cheesy Street Grill, Pulse Cafe, and The Stables Restaurant. There are plenty of great ways to fill your itinerary in Hadley!
