When to Go
Spring
With access to parks like Minute Man National Historical Park and Boston National Historical Park, spring offers blooming landscapes and historical exploration.
Summer
The mostly flat terrain and proximity to coastal parks make summer drives to places like Amesbury or Winthrop appealing for day trips.
Fall
Gently rolling terrain on the longer drives, like to Athol, could offer early fall foliage views before the winter chill.
Winter
Shorter drives to areas with historical parks, such as Winthrop or Randolph, remain viable even in colder weather.
