Each town has its own distinctive character, from the quiet, tree-lined Main Street of Russell Village, the classic New England village of Huntington, the hints of industrial grandeur in Chester, to the restaurants and shops of downtown Lee. Known also as the "Jacob's Ladder Trail," the route was designated a Massachusetts Scenic Byway in 1992. </p> <p><img src="imgs/Home3.jpg" alt="1st Cong.
