One of the nicest places in the town is Mount Holyoke College. Mary Lyon founded the seminary in 1837 for girls. It since has changed into a college for women. Some of the oldest buildings on campus are along College Street.
This is also part of the South Hadley Heritage tour. Navigate back to the tour page HERE.
