| The site of the early pilgrims, Boston Tea party, the second largest St. Patrick's Day Parade, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, and more, it is all here in Massachusetts! When you can tear yourself away from the superb universities, go sailing on the Charleston River, yachting or hitchhiking. One the most culturally vibrant states in America, you will see some of the best performing, visual and other arts in the Pioneer valley. Must-sees include the Dr. Seuss Memorial in Springfield, and the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. Do take part in the Boston Marathon while you're there! |
