Massachusetts Essentials

Massachusetts anchors American history through sites like the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail and Boston Common, the nation’s oldest public park established in 1634. The list spans from the cobblestone 19th-century charm of Beacon Hill’s Acorn Street to the academic legacy of Harvard University. Coastal highlights include the dunes of Cape Cod and the historic Nauset Light, while the interior features the industrial textile mills of Lowell and the Berkshires' renowned Tanglewood music venue.
