Home to several large towns and the city of Springfield, there is always plenty to
do and see in the Greater Springfield area. Rich in cultural activities on a grand scale
for our part of the world. Large neo-classical buildings house the Opera, the Symphony,
the Ballet, and more. Like living in a little New York, even the library is staged to be
impressive. There are the usual city activities available including 4 museums, a Civic
Center, the Springfield Symphony Hall, shops, and restaurants. But what Springfield is
becoming most well-known for are the athletic events and buildings dedicated to such
sports as Basketball (in 1891), which originated here, and Volleyball which was also
invented here (in 1895). North of Springfield, the primarily rural country setting is
highlighted with five outstanding institutes of higher education and the culturally
innovative small city of Northampton. Click
