Step into the heart of revolutionary America on a historic journey to Boston and beyond, where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired, and the nation’s independence began to take root. Depart Columbus by deluxe motor coach and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay in Scranton before heading to New England.
Begin your adventure at the fascinating Mark Twain House in Hartford, CT, then continue on to Boston, where you’ll explore the Paul Revere House and trace the paths of patriotism on the Freedom Trail. Discover the stories that shaped a nation as you visit Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, the USS Constitution Museum, and enjoy samples at the iconic Samuel Adams Brewery.
Your Fourth of July is unlike any other, beginning with a day at Boston’s HarborFest at Faneuil Hall, a scenic stroll through Cambridge and Harvard University, and culminating in the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. Board a private boat for a narrated scenic cruise along the Charles River, then drop anchor in the harbor for an unforgettable view of fireworks bursting in patriotic splendor, complete with drinks, desserts, and the powerful sounds of the 1812 Overture echoing through the night.
The following day, enjoy a magical visit to Salem, Massachusetts, home to centuries of mystery and history. Tour the House of Seven Gables, the Salem Witch Museum, and the renowned Peabody-Essex Museum before returning for a relaxing evening.
