Massachusetts really does have it all to offer tourists. There is delicious seafood, beautiful islands, patriotic landmarks, rich history, great music, and interesting art. All mixed with mountains, green pastures, farmlands, large forests, small villages, big cities, rocky shores, and more.

Boston is home to the Freedom Trail, a very important part of America’s history. There is a red brick line that takes visitors from the Visitor Center in the Boston Common and extends all the way to a 54-gun frigate known as the USS Constitution at the Charlestown Navy Yard. Here you can visit the burial site of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and the first woman to step off the Mayflower.

Unfortunately, while driving across the US, some snowbirds will be injured in a car accident in Massachusetts. They will need to consult with a personal injury lawyer.
