What are the best things to do in Massachusetts? New book from a Boston author can help
If you're looking for the best things to do in Massachusetts, there's a new book for that.
"100 Things To Do in Massachusetts Before You Die," by Kim Foley MacKinnon, explores the Bay State's historic sites from Boston to Cape Cod and the Berkshires.
"I've done '100 Things To Do in Boston' and '100 Things To Do in Cape Cod and the Islands' as well, and 'Secret Boston.' For this one, it was a deep dive into everything in the state, which was a lot of fun," MacKinnon said.
She's lived in Boston for more than 25 years. While this isn't her first book, it did require some extra travel. From markets to museums and more, MacKinnon says it took her a year to explore Massachusetts.
"Converse was invented in Massachusetts and their flagship store is near the Garden," she said. "You can customize your own shoes, so I did that and that was a lot of fun. The Basketball Hall of Fame out in Springfield, Mass., was an amazing museum, and I learned a bunch about the sport that I didn't know."
There's a chance most readers will also discover a new site, activity, or restaurant to appreciate in the state. Kim Foley MacKinnon will be at these book signings around Massachusetts from March through April:
