Massachusetts is known for being progressive in its politics, but it’s not really thought of as a bastion of laid-back hippie culture. However, one Bay State town may just give those groovy California communes a run for their money.
Northampton is a colorful community in Western Mass. that deserves the title of the most hippie town in the state.
Nestled in the peaceful Pioneer Valley, this town is anything but demure. Northampton is filled with quirky shops, friendly people and a vibrant arts scene.
Any longtime or aspiring hippie will want to check out shops like Art Therapy, where beautiful glassworks and handmade accessories will inspire you to chill out.
Northampton also offerings plenty of opportunities to commune with nature. Places like Pulaski Park and Look Memorial Park are great spots to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the greenery.
