Chicopee is a large suburban community bordered by Springfield to the south and the Connecticut River to the west. Gorgeous historic architecture dots the landscape, from the Baroque Revival-style Basilica of Saint Stanislaus and the Romanesque Chicopee City Hall to more subdued structures like the Edward Bellamy house. The city is home to Westover Air Reserve Base, which employs many locals and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year for its annual air show. Serving as a sort of bridge between Springfield and Holyoke, many folks who work in these neighboring cities choose to live in Chicopee, including many who work or study at the region’s many colleges.
