Spring brings warmer weather and rain from April to May. The summer heats up in June, reaching the high 70s and during July and August, it's hot enough for the beach. In the fall the temps dip again, and the leaves change colors.

How do I get around town?

You will want a vehicle to get around the city. While there are buses and commuter train options for Boston and neighboring districts, they don't reach everywhere. If you take the bus, it's good to know they don’t have bike racks, but, drivers can allow them on the bus when space permits.

What Lancaster landmarks should I see?

The riverside city is home to a few well-known landmarks such as the Ayer Mill Clock Tower. Built in 1910, it's the largest of its kind in the world. Another important location is the Great Stone Dam that helped grow Lawrence into a 19th-century industrial giant.

From ballgames in the summer and events at the Essex Art Center year-round, there's entertainment for everyone living in Lawrence apartments and houses. Spend the day at the Lawrence Heritage State Park, a 23-acre urban educational and recreational preservation.
