Downshift off I-91 and travel one of the country's original highways -- through the surprisingly unspoiled time warp that is Franklin County. Its countryside is beautiful, its history rich, and its culture eclectic. Franklin County is the most rural county in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it shows. Farms, fields, and valleys form our historic villages and bustling towns. There is so much to do here -- in our fine museums, educational institutions and cultural centers -- but most of all, in our great outdoors! If you like New England, you'll love Franklin County!

Junction Route 6 and Route 132
Hyannis, MA
Toll-Free: 888-33CapeCod
Email
With 559.6 miles of coast and 400 square miles of landmass, Cape Cod is big by anyone’s measure. But with its 83 museums, 50 miles of cycling trails, 75 nature paths, 115 beaches, 52 harbors, 365 ponds, 13 lighthouses, 43 golf courses, 2,254 places to shop, 78 band concerts, 14 parades, 97 fairs and ten baseball teams, the Cape stands taller. Nowhere else can one find such diverse activities. From tracing early history in Provincetown to visiting a full-size model of Alvin, the underwater submersible in Woods Hole, the Cape is indeed rich with sights, attractions and activities. Then, there is the beauty and wonder of the Cape itself—a timeless gift of sea, sun, sand and its ethereal light.

It's no wonder that Cambridge is so often referred to as "Boston's Left Bank.” Just across the Charles River from Boston, it's a city where Old World meets New Age in a mesmerizing blend of history and technology. Only minutes away from downtown by subway or by foot, visitors can visit historic sites including the world-renowned campuses of Harvard University and MIT. As a captivating, off-beat alternative to Boston, the "Squares" of Cambridge are charming neighborhoods rich in adventurous dining options as well as unique shopping, theatres, museums, and historic sites. Cambridge is a city where counter-culture still lives, classic culture thrives, and multicultural is a way of life.
