If you’d like to experience what life was like in the early 1800s, pay a visit to Old Sturbridge Village. Home to over 40 historic houses and farm buildings, it is one of the most popular attractions in Massachusetts. People in costumes recreate life in the 1800s and demonstrate the routine tasks of craftspeople, blacksmiths, and farmers.
You can also venture along the Freedom Trail, which takes you to 16 historic landmarks in Boston – just keep following the brass medallions and the red brick line. Some of the landmarks along the route include the State House, the Old Granary Burial Ground, Old North Church, and Faneuil Hall. Faneuil Hall, also known as “the cradle of liberty” is where revolutionaries regularly met.
