The eclectic South of Boston region is a must-see for anyone who likes history, beaches, and art. Learn how the Pilgrims lived at Plimoth Patuxet, a living-history museum where it’s always 1627. Check out the New Bedford Whaling Museum, or even better, go see some actual whales in the very place that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Go to the Art Complex Museum for the classic Shaker furniture, and stay for the Japanese tea ceremony. You don’t want to miss the natural beauty and charm of the South Shore.
