Holyoke Massachusetts (MA) Real Estate Tour
Tour Holyoke, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
Holyoke, Massachusetts is located along the Connecticut River, where the first of several dams was constructed in 1848 to take advantage of a 57-foot drop in the water level. The water power created by the dam was transferred to new industrial sites along 7.5 miles of hand dug canals.
At one point, more than 25 paper mills were in operation in Holyoke, annually producing the greatest tonnage of paper of any city in the world. Although only one company continues to manufacture paper, the dam, canals and much of the industrial and commercial architecture remain intact. Owing to the city's excellent location at the junction of Routes I-90 and I-91, the reuse of many buildings has proved to be economically feasible.
The game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan at the Holyoke YMCA and the city is rightly claimed to be the Birthplace of Volleyball. Recreational attractions include the Volleyball Hall of Fame, the Wistariahurst Museum, the Children's Museum, and Holyoke Heritage State Park, where the former Mt. Park Merry-Go-Round is permanently housed. The State Park also hosts Celebrate Holyoke, an annual three-day event which brings visitors from around the region to enjoy nationally known performers.

Number 10: Blackwater Draw.
Archaeology found in New Mexico near the town of Clovis, Blackwater Draw is one of the oldest archaeological sites in the US, with ancient artifacts upward of 12,000 years old being found there. To put that into perspective, that is around the time that mammoths roamed the land and arrows were the apex weaponry of the time.
This area’s claim to fame comes from the Paleoindians and the materials they would use. They had a unique type of projectile point, called the Clovis point, made from a mixture of jasper, obsidian and a few other types of brittle stone; although these arrowheads were very brittle, they were unbelievably sharp. Discovering these allowed archaeologists to date the arrowheads, as well as other artifacts of the find. Over the years there were more items have been found in the area, but the initial discovery of the Clovis arrowheads is still the biggest find in the region.
Today, the area has been made into the museum where you can see the ancient weaponry and admire photos from their discovery.
Number 9: Bighorn Medicine Wheel.
This piece of history is rather interesting for 2 reasons. First, it was supposedly used by American Indians to read the stars. And, second, because there are actually hundreds of Medicine Wheels throughout the US. It is actually quite likely that if you live in the US there is one relatively close to you right now.
What makes the Bighorn Medicine Wheel in Lovell, Wyoming special is that it’s the biggest one found to date, and is also the most studied. That particular wheel has been dated between 300 and 800 years old. These structures got their names from their shape and its uncanny likeliness to a wagon wheel; each of these has a central cairn that is large enough to sit in and spokes leading to an outer circle which also have a few cairns spread out throughout its circumference.
If you sit in the middle and look down at another cairn on the wheel they will lead you to a point on the horizon, archaeoastronomer Jack Eddy has studied these and has concluded that some of these pointed in the direction of the sunset and sunrise during the summer solstice while others point towards significant star alignments.
Number 8: Horseshoe Canyon.
Located in beautiful southern Utah, Horseshoe Canyon is a great place to visit for 2 reasons, if you are a hiking enthusiast, it has an incredible 7 mile hike through Canyonlands National Park. But, more to the point, it also has some of the best examples of Native American cave drawings you will ever find. This is especially impressive when you consider that some of the drawings are said to be among the oldest ever recorded, between 700 and 2000 years old. The most famous point is known as the Great Gallery and is over 200 feet wide and 15 feet high, featuring an array of life size anthropomorphic images as large as 7 feet tall.
To take the hike that will go past the drawings you will need to begin at the Goblin Valley State Park and take the 30 mile drive to the canyon before beginning your 7 mile round trip hike, viewing not only the drawings but all the nature that Utah has to offer.
Number 7: Nash Dinosaur Track Site.
If you want to walk where dinosaurs have walked, maybe even compare your foot size to that of beasts from millions of years ago, then luckily we know just the place you should visit! The Nash Dinosaur Track Site is located in South Hadley, Massachusetts in the Connecticut River Valley area, and is a great place to take your family to experience a piece of ancient history. The first tracks were found here back in 1802 by a farmer’s son named Pliny Moody and were that of a small, long extinct bird.
Although they didn’t know it at the time, that very fossilized footprint, as well as one other, would eventually make their way to Amherst college to be studied, bringing about the interest in the area and leading to the Nash Dinosaur track site being built in 1939…just one mile from the first footprints discovery.
If looking at tracks in the on-site museum and out in the surrounding areas of the park isn’t awesome enough for you then you can always buy your very own dinosaur footprint or fossils at the on-sight gift shop that is guaranteed to give your home that added classy edge that others just don’t have. I need to know, though…would you own your own dinosaur track? Let us know in the comments below!
Number 6: Crystal River Mounds.
This archaeological site is labeled one of America’s longest, continually occupied sites.
Dual Language Education at Holyoke Public Schools | Connecting Point | July 16, 2019
According to the 2010 US Census, 51% of Holyoke residents identified as Hispanic or Latinx. Holyoke Public Schools are responding to the city’s changing demographics by offering dual language education in English and Spanish. The district is the first in western Mass to embrace this innovative and immersive bilingual learning method. Carolee McGrath visit the Joseph E. Metcalf School, to see how elementary students are taking on two languages at once—and succeeding.
