Location
Harvard, MA, a rural New England town 32 miles west of Boston, is characterized by colonial and Victorian homes, churches, a town hall, and a library clustered around a historic common. The Fitchburg line on the commuter rail has a stop at Littleton/495, where workshop volunteers can pick you up upon arrival.
Workshop Venues
In the spirit of a traditional New England community, the workshop ‘campus’ is centered around the town common. The Unitarian Universalist Church serves as the main concert venue, with a sanctuary that boasts rich acoustics and a beautiful grand piano. The associated Fellowship Building offers several rehearsal rooms and a dining area for lunches and dinners. Local hosts have opened their homes for rehearsals, as well as informal house concerts. Fivesparks (the workshop’s sponsor) operates out of the Town’s old library, located on the common, with additional spaces for rehearsal and conversation, and a movement room with Marley floor for yoga.
DURING YOUR VISIT
HIKING: Harvard is a place of scenic beauty, rich wildlife habitat, and deep cultural heritage. Its miles of hiking trails are available to enjoy by residents and visitors alike.
COFFEE & COMMUNITY: The Harvard General Store, in the center of the Town’s Common, is a vibrant and welcoming meeting place for folks from near and far. Stop in at the café for a latte, some free wifi, or pick up a memento of your visit from their wonderful gift collection.
