Sweetser Park in Amherst, MA is a charming public park that showcases the essence of a classic New England setting. Originally a swampy area, it was transformed into a private "open park" adorned with a border fence and fruit trees by local merchants Edward Dickinson and Luke Sweetser in the 19th century. Today, visitors can enjoy the park's beautiful water fountain, picnic spots, and the stunning display of 50,000 daffodil bulbs planted for Amherst's 250th anniversary.
With its rich history and picturesque surroundings, Sweetser Park offers a serene escape for both locals and tourists alike. The park's restoration in the 1990s, including the Cook Fountain, has revived its former glory, making it a delightful destination to relax and appreciate the beauty of nature in Amherst.
