AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS EXTERMINATORS

Amherst is a town in Hampshire County, in the Connecticut River valley. Amherst was first visited by Europeans no later than 1665, when Nathaniel Dickinson surveyed the lands for its mother town Hadley. The first permanent English settlements arrived in 1727. It remained a part of Hadley, even when it gained precinct status in 1734, before becoming a township in 1759. When it incorporated, the colonial governor assigned the town the name “Amherst” after Jeffery Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst. Many a colonial governor at the time scattered his name during the influx of new town applications, which is why several towns in the Northeast bear the name. Amherst was Commander-in-Chief of the forces of North America during the French and Indian War who, according to popular legend, singlehandedly won Canada for the British and banished France from North America. Popular belief has it that he supported the American side in the Revolutionary War and resigned his commission rather than fight for the British.

It’s no secret that Amherst has a rich history but it’s also a tourist destination. Be sure to visit the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College for an art collection that spans 5,000 years. Also at Amherst College is the Beneski Museum of Natural History where dinosaur skeletons and footprints, dazzling minerals, and more await you. Also visit Emily Dickinson Museum. The Emily Dickinson Museum comprises two historic houses in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts associated with the poet Emily Dickinson and members of her family during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Homestead was the birthplace and home of the poet Emily Dickinson. The Evergreens, next door, was home to her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children. After all that history and culture, sit down for a Northern Italian and Mediterranean meal at Osteria Vespa. Their house made focaccia bread and spicy Calabrian prawns are amazing!
