First stop: Plymouth Rock and Mayflower II, enduring symbols of the
Pilgrims’ arrival in the New World. The region also offers
picturesque harbors, historic lighthouses, state-of-the-art golf
courses, and acres of cranberry bogs that turn ruby red as harvest
time approaches.
CHECK IT OUT
Plymouth bills itself as "America's Hometown." The
colonists’ struggle to build a new community and their
relationship to the indigenous Wampanoag are brought to life at
Plimoth
Plantation, a re-creation of the 1627 Pilgrim community. Whale
watch cruises and party fishing boats leave from Plymouth harbor.
Edaville
USA’s two-mile, narrow-gauge railroad and amusement rides

Brockton. The nearby Fuller Craft Museum is a dazzling showcase for
contemporary crafts. Duxbury’s Art Complex Museum
features a Japanese garden and tea hut. For dramatic views of
