Mount Misery's name doesn't quite describe the beautiful area of this Lincoln destination. The countryside recreation trails here lead hikers through lush woodlands, thriving agricultural fields, and sweeping meadows, all the way to the top of the mountain – again, don't let the name fool you; this menacing “mountain” title could be replaced with “hill”. Be prepared for a scenic, mostly flat trek to the top.

Enjoy another facet of Boston's Emerald Necklace, and spend a day outdoors at Jamaica Pond. The pond is the largest body of water within the “necklace” park system and proves to be a beautiful destination to absorb the surrounding natural scenery. The pond is a favorite destination for hiking and dog walking, as well as sailing and fishing.

See what's going on this month at the Strand Theatre. Cultural events, theater performances, concerts, ballet productions and much more take place here. Since opening in 1918, this theater has been an important fixture on Boston's arts and entertainment scene.
