Court also covers the Amherst, Granby, Pelham and Ware areas. Myths about the local cuisine featuring Roast Quabbin are mistaken - it's a body of water, not a game bird. Thanks to Kathy Mitchell for updating us on some of the court information. |

About the area |
We think the Court used to be in Hadley, which was established under the Congregational religion. Here farmers were given acreage on the river. They were able to plow out their plots of land and grow crops. The farmers were eventually able to raise funds for a town government, town hall, and community area. Years after establishment they were able to build a mill where many people worked. Their main cash crop was corn and the mill was used to ground the corn into meal. The website for Hadley is a great resource to learn more about these facts. But the court moved to Belchertown a couple years ago. We're a little slow on the uptake. |
