Located in the heart of New England with a coastline along the great Atlantic seaboard, Massachusetts is rich in both American history and fun. History nuts will go crazy over the amount of historical reenactments and exhibits scattered throughout the state, like the Pilgrims’struggle to survive at the New World at Plimoth Plantation, or the USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is docked at Charlestown, or Lexington Green, where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired, or the Witch Trial Tours just north of Boston. But don’t stop there. Boston itself is a historical icon. From cobblestone streets leading to quaint bars and taverns to the campus of esteemed Harvard University you'll find a plethora of history and intellectual conversations among resident Bostonians. Catching a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park is also a winner, regardless the outcome of the game. Concord and Cape Cod are two other must-see cities with their own unique amenities and charm, the latter offering offshore fishing charters and whale-watching tours. Hikers can head to Royalston Falls, the Swift River Reservation, the famed Appalachian Trail, or Mt. Washington State Forest while those preferring a leisurely walk can visit Greater Boston's Garden in the Woods or the forest covered Weir Hill Reservation, located in Greater Merrimack Valley. And extreme sports enthusiasts can get the thrills of their lives kayaking the Ipswich River, skydiving in Greater Merrimack Valley, dog sledding through the woods, or ice climbing in the Berkshires.
