We all know that Massachusetts has such a great wealth of history. And with that, many historic locations exist throughout the Bay State. Some are no longer active or in use, but there are some that just seem to stand the test of time. Even some businesses that have been around since previous centuries are still up and running. One in particular is known as the "Oldest Scratch Bakery in New England". That same spot is also one of the oldest bakeries that is still operating in the U.S.
Forget owning a tropical island. How about purchasing a historic island that once belonged to Roger Williams himself?
An 8-acre island in Rhode Island's North Wickford Cove is on the market for $899,900 and the buyer will own a piece of Ocean State history...
We all know that if there is one thing Massachusetts has a wealth of, it's history. It's pretty common knowledge that the oldest city in the Bay State is Plymouth. However, over on the western side of the state, it's not nearly as much of a known face just how old some of these towns in the Berkshires are.
Massachusetts has some extremely old towns and cities throughout the state. Like, really, really, really old. That being said, America just happened to celebrate a birthday about three months ago on July 4th. In fact, it was America's 248th birthday. But did you know that a town in Massachusetts is way older than that? By way older, we mean, more than a century older. And even beyond that, it's more than 150 years older than America.
