City Information
Westwood
Westwood, Massachusetts, is a small town about 13 miles outside of Boston. This quaint suburb's high-quality school system and 30-minute commute into Boston make it a popular place for families to live.
Although Westwood maintains a distinct small-town vibe, there are growing shopping opportunities in the University Station area and along High Street. Buckmaster Pond is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, walking, and in the winter, ice skating. Several working farms in the area welcome visitors to walk around the land, meet barnyard animals, and purchase fresh produce and goods. The historic Bradley Estate in neighbouring Canton is also a gorgeous place to explore in the area.

Trenton
Trenton is New Jersey's capital, and for a period of two months in 1784, it was the capital of the United States. The city is located between New York City and Philadelphia and is separated from the state of Pennsylvania by the Delaware River. One of the most recognizable landmarks in Trenton is the New Jersey State House, constructed in 1792. It is the third-oldest state house in the country, and tours of the building share New Jersey history. For more New Jersey history in an even older building, visit the William Trent House, built in 1719. The founder of Trenton, William Trent, and three governors have occupied the house in its long history. It is now a museum offering tours and insight into early American life.
Cadwalader Park is a 100-acre park in Trenton, planned by the same man who designed Central Park in New York City. Enjoy the park's grassy lawns, quiet stream, walking paths, and the Ellarslie Mansion at the centre, now a museum of fine art.
Trenton's primary train station is the Trenton Transit Center, where Amtrak trains connect to other cities in the Mid-Atlantic. The closest airport to the city is the Trenton-Mercer Airport, but international flights arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport.␣
