Welcome to Massachusetts

With 1500 miles of wide sandy beaches beckoning along the eastern seaboard, green mountains inland, rich culture, amazing history and some of America’s oldest architecture, Massachusetts’ offerings to groups are seemingly endless!

Bounded by the states of Vermont and New Hampshire to the north, New York to the west, Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, and the boundless Atlantic Ocean to the east, Massachusetts enjoys a pivotal location in the center of New England. The Bay State is accessible by motorcoach from all points of New England. The Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate Route 90) runs east to west from Boston to New York and beyond. Routes I-495, I-195, I-91 and I-93 provide convenient multi-lane access to most points of the state.

Just a 2 1/2-hour drive from its rugged Atlantic coast to its western border, the Bay State has many attractions and activities for your group. Revolutionary battlefields and venerable edifices define Massachusetts as much as its state-of-theart museums, thrilling professional sporting events and cultural icons. From the intriguing whaling capital of Nantucket Island off Cape Cod, to the mountains and meadows of Central Massachusetts, magnificent scenery and quaint New England towns that dot the western region of the state, traveling through Massachusetts is like traveling through time. This, after all, is the state that inspired famous illustrator Norman Rockwell (many of his Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations feature the town of Stockbridge.) It’s also the state where remnants of the international whaling community of the 19th century still linger; where the haunting history of the 17th-century Salem Witch Trials continues to be re-enacted; and where the experiences of the earliest European settlers still play out at the remarkable Plimoth Plantation, an historical settlement where history comes alive.

And nowhere is this sense of time travel more poignant than in Boston, the state capital. It’s often remarked that the six-square-mile city, with
its countless Colonial landmarks reflected in the windows of its modern skyscrapers, is the quintessential example of the Old World successfully bridging the New World. A city synonymous with culture (think the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Museum of Fine Arts), Boston is the historical seat of the state and New England at its best.
