Local Museums

While our local Boston movers are unloading your boxes and furniture, see the wealth of knowledge Amherst has to offer by visiting local museums. The Beneski Museum of Natural History at Amherst College is a great place to start to view dinosaur skeletons and footprints, fascinating minerals, and tens of thousands more specimens on display. The exhibits within the museum are immersive by using state-of-the-art technology to help tell the history of the local landscape throughout geologic time. It's a great way to spend time with the family after moving to Amherst, given that the museum has free general admission, so you won't have to worry about breaking the bank after the move.

If you're an avid book worm, then you should visit the birthplace of poet Emily Dickinson at the Emily Dickinson Museum. The museum consists of two houses in the center of Amherst in which Emily Dickinson lived along with other members of her family during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Homestead house was where Dickinson was born and raised, and the Evergreens next door was where her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children lived. The museum offers a guided tour of both houses where the staff gives a detailed account of the life and legacy of Emily Dickinson.
