| Travel Guide for Massachusetts Used as the "Gateway to England" for the landing of pilgrims, and known as the "Bay State" for the many wide-open bays, the "Old Colony State" of Massachusetts decisively makes its mark on the territorial scope of the original 13 colonies. This slice of New England seems to have received too much favoritism, which is apparently manifested in its lovable landscape, colorful history, and unquestioned prominence in artistic, cultural and intellectual institutions. With the immense Atlantic Ocean lapping its east shore, the rugged swath of Connecticut River Valley and idyllic farmland stretching in the heartland, the majestic Berkshire Hills and Appalachians hovering in the far west, and the star-studded folds and hollows hidden in between, Massachusetts' postcard perfect scenery promises a deluge of outdoor fun and active recreation delights. Although its stunning natural beauty doesn't really receive a badge of honor, Massachusetts' cornerstone status in the history of the nation has been fairly and squarely etched into the history book. As a premier port of call harboring the first wave of pilgrims and a hotbed of revolutionary sparks setting the whole country ablaze for independence and justice, Massachusetts brings to life the commencement of Americanism. Sights pertaining to several of the defining moments in American history are omnipresent. You can relive the excitement of pilgrims' great landing in 1620 while aboard the Mayflower II in Plymouth, retrospect to the heroic event in 1773 while visiting the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum, or retrieve the foremost momentous battle of the American Revolution in 1775 while touring the Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord. Other living history museums and attractions, like the Plimouth Plantation in Plymouth, Freedom Trail and Boston National Historical Park in Boston, John F. Kennedy Museum in Hyannis on Cape Cod Peninsula, the Adams National Historic Park in Quincy, the Haggis Armory in Worcester, and the spooky Salem Witch Village, Springfield Armory National Historical Site, and Old Sturbridge Village, give further lesson in history. Massachusetts proves to be fertile also for intellectual wisdom, artistic creativity and literary crusade. Home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge seems not to be overshadowed by its close neighbor just across the Charles River. Add the Amherst College and the flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and Smith College, the largest member of the Seven Sisters, in Northampton, no wonder Massachusetts has always been the haunt for the artists and literary folks, Emerson, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and Louisa May Alcott among others, who got together in clubs and saloons in Boston, and got inspiration in summer retreats in the Berkshires or the seaside artists' colonies like the Gloucester, Rockport, Provincetown, etc. There are also Massachusetts hotels and accommodations scattered across the state, accommodating travelers anywhere their itineraries take them.
