Massachusetts isn't known as the Bay State for nothing; it's gorgeous. One of the country's smaller states, MA has a lot to offer through its deep history, spectacular vistas, internationally-respected schools, sports teams and cultural offerings, and amazing food. People from Massachusetts have a lot to be proud of; here are just four reasons why skydiving in Massachusetts at Jumptown is wicked cool:
1. MASS IS STEEPED IN HISTORY
Massachusetts is not only peppered with landmarks that commemorate significant events in America's history as well as showcase the birthplaces of numerous notable Americans, but it also represents the birthplace of commercial skydiving. Jumptown, established in 1959 at the Orange Municipal Airport as Parachutes Incorporated, increased the sport's popularity in America by 98% during its first year of operation. A lot has changed in skydiving since then, and we've seen it all.
2. THE VIEWS IN FALL ARE AWE-INSPIRING
We love having four distinct seasons, and Fall just might be our favorite. Flanked by lush state forests and dotted with shimmering bodies of water, the foliage in Orange is SPECTACULAR toward the tail end of September and into October. Nothing but vibrant and breathtaking reds, oranges and yellows for days ...
3. WE VALUE OUR PEOPLE
