Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a historically rich and naturally stunning state in the New England area of the US. It was settled early by the Pilgrims and is where the American Revolution began, hence its strong colonial heritage. The eastern part of Massachusetts is popular, including Boston and the charming Cape Cod. The renowned Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket islands offer quaint and elegant towns with character, beautiful beaches and forest backdrops. Go sailing, hiking, cycling, shopping, fine dining, fishing and more. Central Massachusetts also has a lot to offer, such as the Old Sturbridge Village, a wonderful living-history museum. The Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts provide scenic views, great skiing and lodges, fine dining and more. This state is fantastic for white water rafting, canoeing, and a truly breathtaking 'turning of the leaves' in autumn.
