Anniversary Weekend Day 1

 Clamber Hill Inn - Petersham, MA



Beautiful Inn and beautiful grounds




we found Sophie the horse















we got complimentary congnac

and a pretty room

our first adventure was in the state forest where we drove in to a couple sites and looked at some beautiful scenery



the beaver tried to bite off more than he could chew

fairy house

beaver dam

he made it through this one, but it never made it to the dam





our hike took us to the top of the mountain overlooking the Quabbin Reservoir




Murray the wonder pup lives at the Inn and is the sweetest!



fun mushrooms

beautiful dewy web









after our hike we went to the Petersham General Store as we hear they made awesome sandwiches.
They weren't wrong!  The food was excellent and they had a cute store as well.  I fell in love with all these wonderful clocks.  They also had this fun, old phone on the wall.






They were having a Christmas craft fair in here so we poked around



this is the library



We popped into the Historical Society and found out some really cool things about the town.

they also had an awesome phone

and an even more awesome switchboard!

beautiful old, square piano

After the town tour, we went to the Harvard Forest Fisher Museum.
They had these amazingly intricate dioramas about the history of the forest from when it was cleared for farming and then they reintroduced certain species for specific needs.  I took these pictures mostly for Norah because I knew she would appreciate how much time and detail went into making just one of the trees in these dioramas - there were thousands of trees!




After the museum, we went to Stone Cow Brewery and had a pint or 2, enjoyed the scenery and the animals!


















cutest piggy tail!








After the brewery, we came back to the Inn to shower and enjoy an amazing dinner!
