4 Salem For those like me who are interested in exploring a town where over 200 people were accused of witchery and 26 people executed, go ahead and visit the town of Salem, MA! The dark arts are pretty cool.

5 Freedom Trail For those of you interested in history but not interested in the dark arts, go ahead and visit the Freedom Trail! The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile trail with 16 historically significant sites. It’s pretty cool.

6 Fenway Park For any sports fans, Fenway Park would very likely be on a place to visit if you are in Massachusetts. Fenway Park is, as you very likely know, home to the Boston Red Sox. I’m not a big fan of sports so I’m just going to go back to Salem.

8 Fun Stuff The Salem witch Trials began in February 1692 and ended in May Over 200 people were convicted of witchcraft and were chained to walls in prisons in not just Salem, but multiple towns due to the amount of convicted people. The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was an act of defiance sparked by the Tea Tax passed by Britain. Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty boarded three ships in Boston harbor and threw 342 chests of tea overboard. This caused Britain and the coon to be country of America to go closer to war.
