PLAN YOUR TRIP TO MASSACHUSETTS
Massachusetts travel is fun to plan: here are some great trip ideas and destinations.
Provincetown, Boston, Plymouth, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Salem, Lexington, Concord, Framingham…just saying the names of the towns and cities of Massachusetts conjures up images of pilgrims and Indians, pirates and witches, beaches and sailboats, landings and battles. Massachusetts is all of this and so much more.
From MIT to Harvard, Massachusetts is known for its fine educational facilities. Colleges, universities, museums, and galleries dot her landscape. A wealth of historical sites are scattered across her landscape, including the JFK Presidential Library; Plimoth Plantation; the Boston Harbor, famous for it’s “Tea Party”; the Salem Witch Museum; summer homes of Pres. John Adams and Pres. John Quincy Adams; Gloucester, America’s oldest working seaport; and Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House.
Quaint lighthouses beckon sailors and tourists to beautiful harbors. Striking natural beauty invites you to view the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod, Blackstone River Valley, and the Mohawk Trail.
Whether you’re looking for the cosmopolitan excitement of Boston, Cambridge, Worcester or Springfield, or the laid back pace and quaint vistas of the many quiet New England towns, you can find it here in Massachusetts.
