In 2010, Billboard named The Comcast Center “the top-grossing amphitheatre of the decade,” and when you see the impressive list of past performances, it's not hard to see why. The Who, Pearl Jam, Rush, James Taylor, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, and The Allman Brothers Band are just a few artists who've graced the stage at this entertainment venue.
The Salem Witch Museum recreates and examines a dark part of early American history. The Salem witch trials sound like a tale of fiction, merely folklore, but over 180 people were accused and imprisoned for practicing witchcraft with some convictions leading to death by hanging. If you were a witch or were accused of being one in 1692, Salem, Massachusetts was the last place you'd want to be and this museum is the best place to learn why.
The history of Massachusetts is explored at The Commonwealth Museum.
