For Tour Planners

There's a “story in every mile” North of Boston and an itinerary that could go on for days. Start just miles from Boston and explore the country's oldest iron works. Learn about Lydia Pinkham and her “pink pills for pale people” and the shoe industry. See the Spirit of ’76. Witness the witch trails of 1692, climb secret staircases, tour a Chinese home, and sample candy from an 1806 recipe. Learn how schooners were built and then go sailing on one. Plan a fishing or whale watching trip before eating fried clams where they were invented. Find out why there is a cannonball in a steeple and where the most first period homes in the country are located. See the marshes changing color, go birding, and tour a mansion. Experience specialty shops, antique row, holiday strolls, Haunted Happenings, the oldest fair in the country, concerts, theater and dance.
