Mount Wachusett, Mountain summit in Worcester County, Massachusetts.
Mount Wachusett reaches 611 meters in elevation and contains 220 acres of old-growth forest with trees ranging from 150 to 370 years old.
The mountain holds significance from King Philip's War in 1676, when Native Americans brought captive Mary Rowlandson to the valley for her release.
The name Wachusett comes from Native American language, used by the Nipmuc tribe who inhabited the area before European settlement.
The summit road operates from Memorial weekend through October's last weekend, with daily access from 9 AM to sunset for a fee of $5 for residents.
Mount Wachusett contains the largest old-growth forest east of the Connecticut River and stands as the highest point in Massachusetts east of that river.
