Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.

Follow the red-brick road, otherwise known as Freedom Trail. The trail stretches 2.5 miles and leads the way to 16 historical sites that are significant to American history. Some of the sites and attractions include the Boston Common, the Old State House, the Bunker Hill Monument, the Paul Revere house and the site of the Boston Massacre.

The history of Massachusetts is explored at The Commonwealth Museum. Exhibits here explore everything that has happened in the state from the Colonial Period to the American Revolution, Civil War and beyond. Important events and people are presented through artifacts and documentation, serving as an effective lesson of American history.

If you want to go fishing in the waters around Boston, take a trip with the salt water experts at Boston Saltwater Fishing by Bill & Jules. Stick to the Boston Harbor or venture a little further offshore; either way, you're guaranteed to fish the spots where striped bass, bluefish, flounder, and blue fin tuna hang out.
