Concord

New York is a great place to visit if you are visiting the United States, but I think Massachusetts is even more historical and important in terms of United States History.  So much to see and do in this state.  I would most definitely put Concord on the list of places to see because it is like walking back in time.  I love Colonial Architecture.  Concord is also a great place to stay as it is so central to American Revolution history and minutes from downtown Boston.  Actually, I should clarify that last statement as it is 12 miles from Cambridge and 20 miles from Boston, but the traffic is a bear around here so minutes can turn into about a half hour or more.

Sadly these photos don't even do the town justice as it truly is charming.
