This Quaint Wagon Ride Through Massachusetts’ Farmland Is A Magnificent Way To Take It All In

If you're looking for unique things to do in Massachusetts during the cooler months of the year, there's a restaurant that offers an experience you won't find anywhere else. Salem Cross Inn's Fireplace Feast dining event will transport you to simpler times with a quaint horsedrawn wagon or sleigh ride through the Inn's surrounding farmland before you sit down at the restaurant to dine on early American fare. Let's take a closer look at this event that includes a sleigh ride or wagon ride in Massachusetts.

If you want to step back in time and enjoy a slower pace of life, consider a visit to Salem Cross Inn, especially for one of the Fireside Feast events. Located in Brookfield, the Inn occupies a restored 18th-century farmhouse on 600 acres of land.

On specific dates from mid-November until late April, Salem Cross Inn hosts its Fireplace Feast. During this remarkable event, guests will be treated to a horse-drawn sleigh or wagon ride and have a colonial-style dinner. It's a truly unique experience in Massachusetts!

While your feast is cooking over a fire, you'll hop aboard a sleigh or wagon. Sit back and relax as horses pull you through the valley and farmland surrounding the inn. Breathe in the fresh country air and take in the surrounding scenery on this enjoyable ride.

Once you return from the wagon ride, you can warm up with a cup of mulled wine or cider. As for the dinner portion of the Fireplace Feast, you can watch and even help stir the chowder as it's cooking in an iron cauldron over the fire.

Witness the prime rib turning as it cooks on a Roasting Jack from the 1700s (apparently the only one still operating in America).

Your dinner will be a true feast made like it would have been in the 1700s. Indulge in New England chowder, prime rib, herb-roasted potatoes, and butternut squash. For dessert, there's nothing more quaint and New England than apple pie topped with whipped cream!

Can you think of anything better and more New England than a colonial-style feast, mulled wine, and a horse-drawn sleigh or wagon ride?
