All the seasons are beautiful at Clamber Hill, but the fall is especially
glorious. We've had visitors come from all five continents to see New
England's amazing fall foliage. The foliage color change normally
begins in early to mid-September in northern Vermont, northern New
Hampshire and Maine and works it way south, ending in late October
along New England's southern shoreline in Rhode Island and
Connecticut. (See foliage map below.)
Peak foliage season at Clamber Hill and in the North Quabbin area of
Central Massachusetts is usually mid-October, but any time during
October is a great time to visit Petersham. And Petersham is centrally
located in both Massachussets and New England, making it a great
base from which to explore.
The pictures displayed here were all taken close by the Inn in Octobers
of different years. Top right is an overhead view of the Petersham
town center. Under that is Connor's Pond in Petersham and then the
Woolsey's farm, adjacent to Clamber Hill. The next row is Harvard
Pond, down the hill behind the inn and Petersham's North Common
Meadow, which is a Trustee's of Reservation property here in town..
The bottom five fall foliage photos are (left to right), Clamber Hill's private
entrance to Harvard Forest, the canopy above the Clamber Hill parking area,
the Unitarian Church in the center of Petersham, an island in Rutland State
Park take by my friend Peter Russell of Worcester England, and Mark Ellis'
whimsical statuary in the woods of Clamber Hill.
