Massachusetts was where the original colonists settled and it has a lot of historically significant things to see and do. There are also plenty of parks and family friendly places to make any trip to Massachusetts one to remember.

36. Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute (Williamstown)

Commonly referred to as the Clark, the Institute houses a world renowned collection of American and European art including prints, sculptures, photographs, and paintings. They’re also dedicated to being a research and academic center, providing fellowships to artists and maintaining a large library. Spend about 2 hours here.

37. Old North Church (Boston)

On April 18, 1775, the steeple of the Old North Church was where the lanterns were hung as Paul Revere’s signal for “one if by land, two if by sea” which kicked off the American Revolution. This is the city’s oldest surviving church and a key part of our country’s birth. Spend an hour or so here taking in a little piece of history.

38. Skywalk Observatory (Boston)

Here you’ll find a 360 degree view of the city from 700 feet up in the air. There’s an audio tour available and a viewing of a short film called “Wings Over Boston” included here as well. You can come for the view and stay for about 45 minutes or do the tour or the movie and make morning or afternoon of it.
