Massachusetts

From Cape Cod to Mount Washington, live historically in Massachusetts. Step back in time at Hancock Shaker Village. Chat with Pilgrims about their perilous voyage on the Mayflower. Stroll down the gas-lit cobblestone streets of New Bedford's historic whaling district. Meet Paul Revere. Or stand on the exact spot where British troops and patriots clashed for the first time. Freshwater fishing venues range from the ice-cold streams of the Berkshire Hills to the mighty Connecticut and Merrimack rivers. More than 500 lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams are stocked with 700,000 trout annually. For saltwater fisherman, party and charter boats leave from 27 Massachusetts ports. The 30 miles of rocky coastline north of Boston are punctuated with long sandy beaches, rugged fishing ports, and sparkling sailing harbors. Nautical lore and the ghosts of witches past offer fascinating glimpses into the region's rich history.
