Hi It is a difficult question to answer as I do not know your preferences.
If you have a car, I would suggest visiting Concord and Lexington and to
follow the trail 9of the battle there and visit the museum. More
interesting areas with a car would be Salem. In Salem they held the Witch
trials in the 17th century and hung about 11 people there as well as
pressing one to death. There is several homes where the trials took place as
well as where the prisoners where held and a Witches museum. There is also
a weel known bookshop owned by a modern witch. Good restaurants esp seafood
and motels. Another place to visit is Newburyport. It is a very authentic
18th-19 cent. village that has preserved much of the original housing. There
is also Gloucester and Rockport. Rockport is touristy but interesting and a
nice place to spend several hours. To get a taste of the area, I recommend
any of the fish and seafood places along the way, either on Route 1 or Route
1A whichever way you go. 1A is longer and slower.
The route you are following if you have a map of New England will lead you
to New Hampshire and Maine. Maine is no more than 1 1/2 to 2 hours from
Boston. If you stay in Boston you really don't need a car as the public
transportation system is very good, even from the airport. Maybe rent a car
for a couple of days.Oh! go to the Museum of Fine art, if you enjoy art
museums. Excellent.
Enjoy! If you want any more assistance just let me know. alan
