National Parks Massachusetts is home to 15 National Parks Service sites, offering history, hiking, beaches and more. Adams National Historical Park, Quincy nps.gov/adam Historic houses open April - early November. Offseason visitor’s center open November-April. Adams National Historical Park was designated as part of the National Park Service in 1946 to commemorate the men and women of the Adams family who dedicated their lives to the development and service of the United States. The park is comprised of the birthplaces of John Adams and John Quincy Adams; the Old House at Peacefield, home to four generations of the Adams family; and the Stone Library. Appalachian Trail, Sheffield to Clarksburg nps.gov/appa National scenic trail open year-round (check weather and conditions before hiking). The Appalachian Trail is a 2,180-plus-mile-long public footpath that traverses the scenic, wooded, pastoral, wild, and culturally resonant lands of the Appalachian Mountains from Georgia to Maine. In Massachusetts, the AT runs 91 miles north-south through Berkshire County, including Mount Everett in Sheffield, several state forests, and Mount Greylock in Adams, the state’s highest peak. 12 SUMMEROFFUNGUIDE2016

Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor and National Park, Worcester to Providence, RI nps.gov/blac Open year-round The waters of the Blackstone River powered the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, America’s first successful cotton spinning mill. This began the nation’s transformation from farm to factory. The Blackstone River Valley is a special type of National Park — a living landscape containing thousands of natural and historic treasures. In Massachusetts, that includes 15 walking and driving tours, as well as the site of the future Blackstone Valley National Park. Boston National Historic Park nps.gov/bost Open year-round Boston is the cradle of the American Revolution. Every year, thousands visit Bunker Hill Monument, the U.S.S. Constitution and the many sites along the Freedom Trail. In downtown Boston, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House, and Old North Church bring to life the American ideals of freedom of speech, religion, government, and self-determination.

Boston African American National Historic Site nps.gov/boaf Centered on the north slope of Beacon Hill, the African American community of 19th century Boston led the city and the nation in the fight against slavery and injustice. There are 14 sites commemorating this rich history along the Black Heritage Trail. The Museum of African American History’s Abiel Smith School and African Meeting House are open to the public year round, Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area nps.gov/boha bostonharborislands.org Over Boston’s nearly 400-year history, the Harbor Islands have housed military forts, lighthouses, prisons, hospitals, grazing land, and landfills. Today, its 34 islands and peninsulas offer hiking, camping, fishing, picnicking and swimming, along with beautiful views of the harbor and the Boston skyline. The park is accessible by ferry from downtown Boston. Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet nps.gov/caco Beaches, parking areas, and trails are open year-

round between 6 a.m. and midnight. Park headquarters is open weekdays year-round. The star attraction of the national seashore is its 40 miles of sandy beach along the Outer Cape’s Atlantic coast, but there are also walking and biking trails to explore, along with marshes, ponds, and uplands that support diverse species. Essex National Heritage Area, Essex County nps.gov/esse Stretching from 10 miles north of Boston to the New Hampshire border, the Essex National Heritage Area covers 500 square miles, including hundreds of historical sites, miles of intact landscapes, glistening coastal regions, and lifetimes of rich experiences that chronicle the history of the region and the U.S. Frederick Law Olmstead National Historic Site, Brookline Site open 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday; Fairsted grounds open dawn to dusk. nps.gov/frla Olmsted is recognized as the founder of American landscape architecture. In 1883, after supervising the design and construction of such landmarks as Central Park and the U.S. Capitol grounds, Olmsted


moved his family from New York City to Brookline and re-established his office, which he named “Fairsted.” It served as a home and the world’s first full-scale professional practice of landscape architecture. The historic site maintains many of the working records in the interest of understanding and preserving the special places Olmsted’s firm created. John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site, Brookline nps.gov/jofi Open Wednesday through Sunday, from 9:30 a.m.5 p.m., with guided tours available.

Longfellow House — Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site, Cambridge nps.gov/long Visitor Center is open 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday; gardens and grounds open daily dawn to dusk. The home of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, one of the world’s foremost 19th-century poets, also served as headquarters for Gen. George Washington during the Siege of Boston, from July 1775 through April 1776. In addition to its rich history, the site offers unique opportunities to explore 19th-century literature and arts.

Lowell’s water-powered textile mills catapulted the nation – including immigrant families and early female factory workers – into an uncertain new industrial era. Nearly 200 years later, visitors can tour the mills and waterways to see how changes that began here still reverberate in our shifting global economy. Minute Man National Historical Park Concord, Lincoln, Lexington nps.gov/mima North Bridge Visitor Center (174 Liberty Street, Concord) open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The opening battle of the American Revolution is brought to life as visitors explore the battlefields and structures associated with the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, and witness the American revolutionary spirit through the writings of Wayside authors Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, and Harriett Lothrop.

Established on March 17, 1938 as the first National Historic Site in the United States, the site consists of 9 acres of land and 12 historic structures along the Salem waterfront, as well as a downtown visitor center. Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site nps.gov/sair Open daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. May 1 through Oct. 31. The birthplace of the American iron and steel industry, this 9-acre National Park resides on the site of the first sustained, integrated ironworks in British Colonial America, which operated on the Saugus River from 1646 to 1670. The site includes working waterwheels, hot forges, mills, historic 17th-century home and a lush river basin. Visitors can tour the iron works house and industrial site and see live demonstrations.
