Quoted from dmarston:The impact on travel times to Boxborough vs. Sturbridge will depend on your starting point, of course. From Worcester itself, the times are about the same. From Maine, it's closer. From Hartford, it's farther. From Ballston Spa/Saratoga region, Southern VT, Keene area, and Northwestern MA, remember to check out routing options via MA Route 2, which is an expressway for much of its length between Gardner and I-495.
Once we get beyond the 2019 show, which is still in Sturbridge, we can have a driving/directions thread for the 2020 show here. Also, Boxborough is set up for helicopter landings, for those of you who have been wanting that option.

Great for people from Canada and Maine. Hartford, Philly, NYC & Long Island not so much . Ez Pass in MA screwed me over and charged me for driving in a tunnel while I was at work! The Sturbridge location kept me off the toll roads which was a deal maker.
