Massachusetts Travel Guide
Massachusetts is a great location to enjoy some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery in the United States. Massachusetts is probably more 'New England' than any of the other states in the northeast of the U.S. Small old towns like Old Deerfield, Marblehead or Brewster all bring back the time of the 17-th century.
The Berkshires (or the Berkshire Hills) region in western Massachusetts is a favored resort destination with several attractive villages and attractions such as the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket are filled with many classic seaside towns whose architecture has been emulated worldwide.
Boston is a historical city, home to the Freedom Trail and the U.S.S. Constitution. Plymouth allows a look back at the Pilgrim's voyage to America on the Mayflower. A visit to the Springfield Armory National Historic Site reveals one of the world's largest firearms collections. Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord preserves several sites that relate to the battles of the American Revolution. Boston has been the hub of the state since colonial times. The state capital is full of history that can be traced back through walking attractions like the Freedom Trail and the Black Heritage Trail. Boston also boasts a wealth of culture thanks to the prestigious presence of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
