Megan Seiler is the director of the city’s very own museum, lecture center, gallery, panel discussions, shop, beautiful gardens and depository of the city’s history that can be found in files of photos and documents overseen by historian Penni Martorell (ask her anything!)

It is worth the repetition that the Wisteriahurst Museum & Gardens is the crown jewel of Holyoke, a place where you will find exhibits by local artists on Black history, Mexican remembrances, classic art, panel discussions by indigenous people, talks by veterans and much more. In a city known as the birthplace of volleyball; lower energy bills thanks to Holyoke Gas & Electric relying on mostly clean energy sources; a past where the Industrial Revolution employed generations until the 1980s saw manufacturing plants go overseas for steeper profits with cheaper labor; a city that welcomes everyone — a city of opportunities, Wisty gives residents and the region daily reasons to visit.
