I go to school at Umass Lowell and I’d recommend Mill No.5! It’s had a lot of cute shops, a movie theatre, an art gallery and yoga studio upstairs. When you walk in it’s really cool because it’s designed to look a street with different store fronts. Boot Cotton Mills Museum might be fun to

Naturally, it depends what they like. Having said that, in Lowell, I highly recommend the boat tour of the canals. Here in Lincoln, the DeCordova is beyond compare. On the North Shore, Halibut Point is an all time fav. Back in the city, to the best of my knowledge, the Mapparium is one of a

Walden Pond, (of course!!). If they go to Salem, MA (as someone else suggested), head onward from there to Cape Ann - Rockport/Gloucester And, the shires . . . Tanglewood ! On Tue, Mar 28, 2023 at 8:57 AM Collette Sizer wrote: > A French family, visiting Massachusetts for a week at the end of

An interesting bit of history a French family might be interested in. There's a plaque on the wall upstairs at the Union Oyster House about the French king who roomed there when in exile back in the 1790's. https://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-french-king-who-lived-above-the-union-oyster-house/

I highly recommend a narrated(if they understand English!) boat trip around the Boston Harbor - full of history and interesting facts. Also, if they read Little Women - the Abbott home. Enjoy! > On 03/28/2023 8:57 AM Collette Sizer wrote: > > > A French family, visiting

Historically speaking, I think teens would prefer a visit to Salem over Plymouth. Some good restaurants there, too. I Recommend a side trip to Harbor Sweets chocolate factory and Salem Willows, as well as a walk in neighboring Marblehead to The Point overlooking harbor. Sent from my iPhone >
