Friendly Crossways Retreat Center
| 
|
|
|
|
|
| Friendly Crossways is conveniently located in the peaceful countryside only 26 miles (40 km) northwest of Boston. Day trips to most of New England's beaches, mountains and historical sites are easily made from here. A century-old barn and farm house have been renovated to accommodate up to 70 people in a combination of dormitory and private rooms. We have large and small meeting places, and a big kitchen; their use is included in our rates. We're open throughout the year, and it's a beautiful place during all the seasons |

Things To Do
|
| This international youth hostel is closed to individuals during the day for cleaning and maintenance, but there are loads things to do around here. Learn about Shaker communal life and Native Americans at Fruitlands in Harvard. There are miles of country roads suitable for bicycling and walking, as well as canoeing or kayaking on the Nashua River with Nashoba Paddler.
In less than 30 minutes travel you can visit the site of the "shot heard `round the world" and Thoreau’s Walden Pond in Concord; check out suits of armor and American art in Worcester; and visit Lowell and Andover, home to a national park featuring the American Industrial Revolution and American Quilts.
An hour's drive leads you north of Boston to Gloucester, Rockport and Newburyport for whale watching and quaint harbor towns, or turn back the clock at Salem and its historic Peabody Essex Museum, Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge MA or Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth NH. Of course there's always Boston. |
