What you'll discover
Sourced from the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MACRIS) and public archives, checked, and written up in plain language.
Roughly 72,000 are listed on the National Register of Historic Places — the second-largest total of any state.
One state, many worlds
Massachusetts packs Revolutionary cities, witch-trial villages, whaling islands, mill towns and Gilded-Age hills into one small state. Roam any of them.
The golden State House dome, Beacon Hill's gas lamps, Faneuil Hall and the red-brick line where the Revolution was lit.
Suffolk CountyThe 1692 witch-trial memorials and Witch House, Gloucester's fishing wharves, and the granite headlands of Cape Ann.
Essex CountyDune-backed lighthouses, weathered saltbox villages, cranberry bogs, and Provincetown's harbor at the fist of the Cape.
Barnstable CountyThe gingerbread cottages of Oak Bluffs, the fishing docks of Menemsha, and the striped clay cliffs of Aquinnah.
Dukes CountyThe grey-shingled whaling capital of the world — cobblestone Main Street, captains' mansions, and Sankaty Head Light.
Nantucket CountyGilded-Age summer "cottages," Tanglewood, Stockbridge, and the literary hills of Herman Melville and Edith Wharton.
Berkshire CountyWhere the Mayflower landed — Plymouth Rock, Pilgrim Hall, and the salt marshes and shipyards of the coast south of Boston.
Plymouth CountyCollege-town spires along the Connecticut River, Emily Dickinson's Amherst, and Springfield's armory and inventions.
Hampshire & HampdenFollow a thread
Themed collections that connect the dots across the Commonwealth.
Boston to Lexington and Concord — the Freedom Trail, the Old North Church, Bunker Hill, and the Minute Man road where the war began in April 1775.
The witch-trial sites, the memorial, the Witch House and the old burying points of Essex County — the year fear swept the Commonwealth.
New Bedford and Nantucket wharves, sea-captains' mansions, and the lighthouses that ring Cape Cod and the Islands.
Follow the red-brick line 2.5 miles through downtown Boston — narrated stops that trigger on your phone as you arrive, from Boston Common and the Old State House to Paul Revere's House, the Old North Church, and the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown.
