Hike Mt. Tom, which is a beautiful area right next to the wedding venue. It was the inspiration for Mt. Krumpit it Dr. Suess' The Grinch, and looks out over the valley and the town of Easthampton (Whoville)... Then stop at Mt. Tom's Ice Cream in Whoville for top tier homemade ice cream and the full Who experience.
