Highlights
Plymouth: Visit detailed reconstructions of a 1600s English village and a Wampanoag homesite. As you walk through the open-air exhibits, see timber-framed houses, dugout canoes and heritage crops, and observe traditional skills in practice. This museum offers a clear, research-based insight into the lives of early colonists and Indigenous communities in what was once Patuxet.
Boston: Trace America’s path to independence with your Travel Director as you stroll past Boston’s iconic sites. See Boston Common, the oldest public park in the United States; the red-bricked Granary Burying Ground where Samuel Adams rests; and the evocative Old State House, the spark site of the Boston Massacre.
Cape Cod: Journey through Cape Cod National Seashore, nearly 40 miles of protected coastline shaped by beaches, dunes and lighthouses. At the Salt Pond Visitor Center, take in views across Salt Pond and Nauset Marsh before exploring exhibits on Wampanoag heritage, maritime history, fishing, lifesaving stations and the evolution of tourism on Cape Cod and its enduring relationship with the Atlantic coast.
Provincetown: At the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown combines maritime history with one of America’s most distinctive arts communities. The Pilgrims first landed here in 1620 before continuing to Plymouth, while the Pilgrim Monument still marks that story today. Explore Commercial Street, where galleries, independent shops and cafes reflect a town long shaped by fishing, creativity, tourism and the sea today.
Nantucket: Walk through historic downtown Nantucket and discover the unique history of the island. Journey through Nantucket’s past and hear about the rise and the fall of the whaling industry, the rise of tourism, and the impacts the island’s economy has had on social and racial development on Nantucket.
Martha's Vineyard: Discover Oak Bluffs, where Ocean Park faces a working harbour filled with ferries, fishing boats and sailboats. See the Flying Horses Carousel, the oldest continuously operating carousel in the U.S., with its original hand-carved horses, and explore streets lined with Victorian inns, independent shops and cafes that reveal the town’s long history as a summer resort.
Explore the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association with your Local Specialist and discover more than 300 colourful Victorian cottages. What began in 1835 as a Methodist summer gathering of worshippers living in tents evolved into an extraordinary collection of Carpenter Gothic homes, known for their intricate ‘gingerbread’ woodwork, decorative porches and brightly painted facades surrounding the historic Tabernacle.
