Massachusetts Essential Info

Overview

Massachusetts has been a favorite destination for travelers ever since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Re-live early American history on the Freedom Trail, take some time to unwind in Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, or sit atop the green monster at Fenway Park- but be warned...sports in Boston are not for the faint of heart!
