Massachusetts
About this walk
Home to one of the oldest college quadrangles in the country, Amherst College pairs understated New England architecture with a fiercely independent liberal arts spirit.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Amherst has a long-running one. Five stops over 1.1 miles, about an hour of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.
Of the five MassRoam tours in Amherst, this is the campus one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
