Massachusetts
About this walk
A nineteenth-century farm school that grew into the state's flagship, crowned by a library tall enough to see for miles across the Pioneer Valley.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Amherst has a long-running one. Four stops over 1.6 miles, about 19 minutes of driving. 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.
