Both the North Adams Public Library and MASS MoCA have long histories. Luckily, they have information on their websites! Read about their histories here and here.
We can’t wait to see you! Less than 2 weeks now. Time sure flies when you’re having fun!

For those of you looking for flights, we thought a list of airport near North Adams might be helpful. Albany International Airport is the closest; it’s about and hour and a half away. Bradley International Airport is about a two hour drive. And of course, we’ve got Logan International Airport in Boston, which is roughly three and a quarter hours from North Adams. Click on this handy map to get directions:

We’ve marked all 3 airports, plus some other important wedding locations. This may also be helpful to those of you driving to the wedding.

We’re getting married in April’s hometown, North Adams, Massachusetts.
The ceremony will be held at the North Adams Public Library. It’s a beautiful and historic building, located at the East end of Main Street.

The ceremony will be short, but please be advised that it will be standing room only (we will have chairs for those who need them).
The reception will be at MASS MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), which is close to the West end of Main Street. MoCA is housed inside the old Sprague Electric complex, and it opened in 1999. It is the largest center for contemporary arts in the United States.

Both locations are within walking distance of the hotels, but parking will be available if desired!
