Historic: September 2008 Archives

For an out-of-the-ordinary day trip from Boston, take a couple of days off from the usual tourist hot spots in the greater Boston area and go explore Ipswich. Located on Boston's North Shore, Ipswich is the quintessential New England town, renowned for its beach, fried clams and historic homes, homes of "First Period" architecture dating from 1625. Stroll around the town to admire these homes and their beautiful gardens, browse the shops and galleries for a unique gift, or dine at any one of their fabulous restaurants.

Located just 10 miles south of Boston, Quincy Massachusetts is an out of the ordinary place to visit in the Boston area. It has the distinction of being the birthplace of not one but two American presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Quincy is deserving of it's nickname "The Birthplace of the American Dream".
