Drinks & Nightlife

Mother Stewart’s is Springfield’s very own brewery located in the heart of downtown. Great outdoor seating space, with plenty of indoor seating as well. Food trucks are often there (especially on the weekend) and they have a great stage for live music. Check their website under "events" to see the food truck and live music schedule. And, don't miss the Saturday market during the winter months for local baked goods, cheeses, and other craft items.

Nice hiking trails around a lake. The first weekend in September they also offer the "Fair at New Boston" which is a really well done re-enactment with a mock battle with canons, lots of period food and drinks, tents with historical reproductions, artisan demonstrations, and all the re-enactors are in period costumes.
