Get in

By car

State Route 57 runs through Granville. Access Route 57 from U.S. Route 5 in Agawam or U.S. Route 202 in Southwick.

Get around

Granville is very rural and you will need a car to get around.

Buses are available during the Granville Harvest Fair (Columbus Day Weekend) to get to primary areas of the Fair. The bus stops are at the Granville Village School, the Old Meeting House, and the third stop that used to be at the Granville Green is now at the old Drum Shop. Signs are used to indicate where these stops are, but if you are not sure, ask and someone will happily point you in the right direction! As the buses used are school buses and not larger common carrier buses, space is limited, so if you plan to go on one, get to the stop early. Timing between bus arrivals varies but should not take more than five to fifteen minutes. Services ends at the end of each fair day (around 5PM).
