Shutesbury
is a rural town located in Franklin County in central Massachusetts. The population is approximately 1,800 residents. Shutesbury was first settled in 1725 and called Road Town. This was because the only purpose of the settlement was as a road between towns. Shutesbury prospered, though, and was officially incorporated in 1781. It was named in honor of former Massachusetts governor, Samuel Shute. Shutesbury is near Lake Wyola State Park, also known as the Carroll A. Holmes Recreation Area. It's a state-run park on the shores of Lake Wyola and offers swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. In 1883, Lake Wyola increased in size from 65 acres to 130 acres, due to the construction of a dam. The dam's original purpose was to provide power to several mills along the Sawmill River. Lake Wyola Dam is 232 feet long and 14 feet high and is an earthen construction dam. Shutesbury is a quiet, peaceful place, perfect for a weekend retreat or a day trip from nearby Greenfield or Springfield. It's especially beautiful in the fall, when the trees turn colors of gold, scarlet, yellow and orange.

Shutesbury Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid. There is a large seasonal temperature variance in central Massachusetts, because places further inland do not have the moderating influence of the ocean. West-central Massachusetts has colder winters and cooler summers than areas along the coast. Summer thunderstorms are common, on average about 30 per year. Nor-easters (winter storms with winds coming from the Northeast) can drop a foot or more of snow. In summer, central Massachusetts is slightly more humid than the coast. In autumn, the air becomes crisp and sunny days bring bright and colorful foliage to the dense forests.
