Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is best explored by following the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail that unfolds through its historic neighborhoods. Marked by the red bricks down the middle of the sidewalk it was laid out in 1958, the trail connects 16 important sites.

What's the most visited rock in New England? Plymouth Rock, of course. It's housed within the smallest state park in Massachusetts, Pilgrim Memorial State Park, which is visited by nearly one million people each year. According to legend, Plymouth Rock is the boulder upon which the Pilgrims landed when they arrived at the location of their permanent settlement in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. Most first-time visitors to "the rock" are a bit startled by its smallness. How could such a monumental artifact in American history be so, well... puny?  There is even doubts about the accuracy of the rock.
