There’s reading about history, then there’s experiencing history firsthand. Nowhere else provides opportunities to do the latter like Massachusetts.
Here you can stand on the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill, take in the hysteria of the witch trials at the Salem Witch Museum, stroll down the gas-lit cobblestone streets of New Bedford’s historic whaling district and visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum, celebrate democracy at the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, and see firsthand where all of the famous – and infamous – events that helped shape a nation took place.
