Our beautiful Western Massachusetts setting on the banks of the Connecticut River has a storied history of rowing spanning from the early 19th century through 2016 when we hosted the USRowing Annual Convention, to today.
Housing options from affordable to luxurious, and urban to countryside can be found just minutes from our historic boathouse.
Higher education opportunities abound from the nearby flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts to convenient private, technical, and community colleges.
The local economy is thriving, sparked by new construction and renovation from Union Station to MGM Springfield, the billion-dollar casino that calls Springfield home.
Our location on a riverfront bikepath is <2 miles from the city center and our international airport, Hartford/Springfield BDL, just 30 minutes away.
Local entertainment, dining, sports, and other attractions cover the spectrum from relaxing, to family-friendly, to high-energy for the young and youthful! Six Flags New England, The Dr Seuss Museum, Basketball Hall of Fame, Yankee Candle, and MGM Springfield are all in our backyard.
