西行阿里:“To get to Walden Pond, you need to take the morning commuter train from Boston North Station in Massachusetts to Concord. After getting off the train, walk southeast along Thoreau Street, then turn right at the first big intersection and walk straight toward Walden Street. After crossing a big intersection with a traffic light, continue walking a short distance forward and you will find Walden Pond on the right. The distance from Concord Train Station to Walden Pond is about five kilometers, and there is no public transportation or taxis.”

Anonymous user:“The experience was very good. The tour guide kept talking for an hour and entertained everyone. You can experience all the city views on land and water. The moment you got into the water, everyone was recording. When you met other duck boats during the journey, everyone would imitate the duck's call to greet each other”
sidney:“The aquarium is well designed, but the venue is a bit small. There were many children at the school during the event. Boston was still very cold in May, and there were strong winds and heavy rain. The ticket price seemed a bit expensive.”
天硕Timothy:“Grab the tail of summer and visit the Orchard Commune Museum
Grab the tail of summer. Although August has always been summer in my impression, in late August this year, the Boston area has already entered autumn.
August 20, 2022 was a sunny day in early autumn. When the sun shines during the day, it sometimes feels a bit like an autumn tiger. My roommate and I came to the Orchard Commune Museum, a niche attraction in New England, which was converted from a 19th-century Shaker village.
The Private Tour (5 dollars separately) took us to visit the ancient monuments in this museum, the Farmhouse and the Shaker Museum. The curator systematically explained to us the living conditions and spiritual world of the Shakers, everything they believed in, and everything they created according to the creed they believed in. The set of creeds upheld by the Shakers are revealed in the fruit baskets and chests of drawers they made, among which a firm belief in God is indispensable.
After the Private Tour, my roommate and I visited several galleries in order. There are modern art and Indian tribal crafts in the gallery. The natural scenery of Fruitlands Museum is also beautiful and suitable for family tours.
🌈 How to play:
Come to the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard MA on weekends to visit the ruins of the 19th century Shaker village. This museum is managed by The Trustees and charges $12 for museum tickets and $5 for the Private Tour. If you only hike, you only need to pay the parking fee, but our purpose is to visit the museum and the Private Tour.
📖 Fun arrangements:
It is recommended to spend half a day, preferably on a sunny day, first participate in the Private Tour, then see the artworks in the museum, and finally hike around the entire Property.
⭐ Experience highlights:
The ruins of the 19th century Shaker village, the furniture and handicrafts made by the Shakers have a unique design concept. The Farmhouse also has scenes of the Shakers' life back then. These places can only be visited by participating in the Private Tour, so the five dollars is worth it.
✏️Tips for fun:
The Orchard Museum is not a place to pick apples, but there is an apple tree in the garden in front of the Shaker Museum.”

吃饭就别叫我了:“Parking is difficult [almost crying] It was even more difficult not to have the strawberry suitcase afternoon tea that I had been longing for [crying] Before I could finish the weeds, it had been changed to the 💐Flower World💐 theme. The shape was not eye-catching and the taste was too sweet. The pink and tender rose lychee Delis was the most beautiful, the lemon passion fruit hill cake was sour and hard, the chocolate caramel tart would definitely make your blood sugar soar, the candy foie gras among the rocks was indeed greasy, only the prawn avocado sandwich was the most to my liking, and the caramel sea salt ice cream ordered alone was not bad. Overall, it was only suitable for taking pictures📸”
gzh***05:“The real farm to table is not to move the farm to the table, but to move the table into the farm. This steakhouse in Groton, an hour's drive from Boston, uses only its own cattle. The one you see grazing when you walk in may be your dinner. Eating in a barn is a unique combination of rural aesthetics and urban flavor.”
