Spectacle

Step inside the home of an original patriot at The Paul Revere House. The home dates back to the 1680s and is still outfitted as a home back then would be; 90% of the structure is original. Paul Revere lived here during the same time period as his famous “Midnight Ride,” where he warned patriots that the British were coming. Shortly after this infamous night ride, the opening shots of the American Revolution were fired.

See the Boston Red Sox in action during their next game at Fenway Park. The Red Sox has been a sports institution since the franchise was founded in 1901. The Sox have won MLB's highest honor, the World Series, seven times, and have claimed 12 American League pennants as well. Get your tickets early; every home game since 2003 has been sold out.

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.
