When you’re in need of a weekend getaway in Massachusetts, where do you go? Is it to Boston to explore the city and maybe take in a sports game? Or how about to the Cape for some rest and relaxation beachside or the Berkshires for an escape to the mountains? While you can’t go wrong with any of these options, we think that sometimes heading to a small town, perhaps one you haven’t thought of yet, is a good idea. Today, we will take a look at the charming town of Petersham, which makes an excellent weekend getaway destination.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

The town of Petersham in Worcester County was established in 1754. Home to a considerable amount of conservation land in town and around the Quabbin Reservoir, visitors can experience a small-town rural feel and plenty of nature.
