Before leaving town, stop by a Boston coffee shop to ensure you’re properly fueled. Places like Lily’s Coffee & Cafe and Gracenote Coffee have a wide assortment of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks along with snack and meal options to enjoy there or along your drive.
Make a detour on your way out of town to explore the Adams National Historical Park. Found in Quincy, the park includes 11 historic structures that encompass five generations of the Adams family.
As you drive through Plymouth, make a stop at Pilgrim Memorial State Park to see Plymouth Rock. The boulder is believed to be the Pilgrims’ stepping stone into the New World, although there’s no historical evidence to confirm that.
Stretch your legs for a bit at Shawme-Crowell State Forest, located in Sandwich. Found on the western end of Cape Cod, this natural attraction has more than 15 miles of trail to hike.
