During my visit to New England, my cousin took me around to see and photograph some of the smaller, historical places of interest near her home in Newburyport. It's so easy to get around and the distances are so close that you can visit many notable places in just a small geographical area - this place is FULL of history!
We stopped off in Duxbury to attend a small party at the yacht club,
but first we took in some of the colorful sights like this long wooden bridge...
Duxbury became a popular summer resort in the late 1800's,
but now it's a popular "suburb" of Boston for boat lovers...
The Myles Standish Monument was built to honor
the military leader of Plymouth Colony...
We also went to Salem, a popular spot on the tourist route
because of the Salem witchcraft trails of 1692...
It's an extremely picturesque town with lots of beautiful old buildings...
Nearby is the Minute Man National Historical Park where you can learn
all about the opening battle of the American Revolution...
The quaint town of Concord...
