The North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce has always had strong roots in community activities and specialties. We strive to constantly discover what makes our region special! Our passion for the area led us to create a central visitor information program called The Johnny Appleseed Trail Association or JATA for short. Twice a year the JATA organization publishes the Johnny Appleseed Trail Guide. The guide includes information about hospitatliy locations and activity oriented businesses through-out North Central Mass, it is essentially the handbook for things to do while visiting the region. In addition to publishing this valuable information, JATA also has a comprehensive website that tells you everything you need to know to stay active, have fun, and love life in North Central Massachusetts! We encourage both residents and visitors to our area to check out www.appleseed.org and see what there is to do in Johnny Appleseed Country.
Includes Cities/Towns: Ashburnham, Ashby, Ayer, Fitchburg, Groton, Harvard, Lancaster, Leominster, Lunenburg, Pepperell, Princeton, Shirley, Sterling, Townsend, Westminster.
