Tourist attractions and development
[ID: 1189451785-638045, on 9/10/2007]
Easthampton and Holyoke share Mt.Tom State Park. Mt.Tom & the Oxbow are the tourist attractions.
History is being erased due to 900 acres of historic farms & brick making industries being developed into cluster housing.
Great Little Town
[ID: 1160921863-522872, on 10/15/2006]
Easthampton is a great little town that rolls up the sidewalks at about 10:00 P.M.. We have great Police and Fire Depts. While this is a quiet little town, just about anything you like to do can be found within a 20 minute ride. Springfield, Northampton, Amhest and Westfield are just a stone's throw from here. It's a great place to visit and a wonderful place to settle down.
