Holyoke Heritage State Park is history-oriented state park located in the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts.[1] The park opened in 1986[2] on the site of the William Skinner Silk Mill which was lost to fire in 1980.[3] The park is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Activities and amenities
A visitors center has exhibits about paper manufacturing and Holyoke's industrial and cultural past. The landscaped grounds offer picnicking and views of the city's canals and mill buildings. The Holyoke Merry-Go-Round (PTC #80), the Children's Museum at Holyoke, and the Volleyball Hall of Fame are also located in the park.[1]
The park also features its own rail line, a remnant of the former Holyoke & Westfield Railroad, and one of four tourist railroads in the Commonwealth. From 1988 to 1996 the railroad featured regular scenic tours to points outside of the city,[4] [5] however in 2005 the three Pullman cars were sold to the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum, which continues to operate them with the state park's livery.[6] Today the Pioneer Valley Railroad provides annual fall foliage passenger rides from the Holyoke Heritage State Park to Westfield, as well as an annual Santa Train.[7][8]
