Massachusetts has 2 of the most picturesque towns to admire the fall foliage

One reason that attracts tourists to Massachusetts is the beautiful foliage that fall brings. New Englanders are truly blessed to experience the rich colors that nature bestows upon us. While some people have to travel long distances to see the bold colors that nature offers in fall, many of us can enjoy them from our backyards.

Massachusetts is home to two of New England's most picturesque towns for admiring fall foliage

While there are many ways to experience fall foliage in New England, two Massachusetts towns are recommended by U.S. News & World Report. The website included a recommendation from Jeff “Foliage” Folger, a New England resident, photographer, and former fall foliage blogger for Yankee Magazine. One Massachusetts town Folger recommends for experiencing fall foliage in all its glory is Deerfield.

Folger had this to say about the fall foliage in Deerfield.

Historic Deerfield is full of old homes and many of them can be toured. You can visit the shops and stroll the streets. Then you can go to the Yankee Candle Factory, which as most know is a real treat for the nose.

The site also features recommendations from travel editor and New England native Ashley Rossi. Her Massachusetts recommendation for experiencing fall foliage is Lenox.

Here's the site and Rossi's review of the popular Berkshire County town.

After getting up close and personal with the foliage on foot at October Mountain State Forest, Rossi recommends visiting Edith Wharton's estate (The Mount) or the Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum for a history lesson. You can also tour the grounds of Tanglewood (free), the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. For unique, luxurious accommodations, check into Life House, Berkshires.

Visit these two cities in early October to experience the best fall foliage in New England. You can see all the areas in New England that made the list here.
