Boston Day Trips
While Boston has plenty to keep even the most ambitious traveller occupied for days, there are a number of excellent destinations near the city that are worthy of your attention. If you are looking to add.

Plymouth Plantation - A living history museum of 17th-century Plymouth, Massachusetts. This is the settlement of the Pilgrims and the home of the Wampanoag Indians. The story of their two cultures is told through Pilgrim role-players and native interpreters. Sites include Pilgrim Village, Wampanoag Homesite and Mayflower II, a full-scale recreation of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to the New World.

In 1692 the odd behavior of two sisters in the small town of Salem began a series of events that ended in the deaths of 24. Today you can still visit the home of the famous "witch trials"

The earliest battles of the Revolutionary war were fought in Lexington and Concord. These cities are just a short drive from Boston. If you prefer, tour busses depart from Boston Hotels regularly for both cities.

Rockport has been called the crown jewel of the Massachusetts coastline. This charming village on Cape Ann is steeped in rich seafaring and art history. Miles lovely beaches, boulder-strewn paths through woods and glades offer the traveler a look at New England that is quite different than the one found in Boston. Nearby Gloucester is America's oldest fishing port and a thriving arts community. The town of Marblehead with its lighthouse makes for another excellent seaside drive destination.

Information and tour schedules for all of these locations can be acquired in your Boston hotel.
