Those who follow the red bricks through Charlestown will cross the Charles River to downtown Boston, stopping along the way to board the USS Constitution, climb to the Bunker Hill Monument, and pay their respects to Revolutionary leaders at the Granary Burying Ground. The path most wandered is the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail, which connects 16 sites of historic note. Autumn is also an ideal time to visit Minute Man National Historical Park and Concord's North Bridge, the site of the "shot heard 'round the world" that signaled the outbreak of the American Revolution.Īny Massachusetts guide will lead straight through urban Boston, where Revolutionary history is so dense you can literally walk through it. As the calendar turns to October, New England’s leaves burst into oranges and reds to paint the very settings Robert Frost once captured in his 1914 poetry collection, “North of Boston.” These include places like Apex Orchards in Shelburne, where people come from all over the state to pick apples each year, and Flax Pond Farms in Carver, with its cranberry bogs and antique harvesting equipment.
Even if you aren’t about to enroll for classes at Harvard or MIT, it’s good to find yourself in Massachusetts in the fall.
