Which of the original 13 colonies would you visit today?

Question

I can't find anything too interesting about any of them, maybe some other opinions will spark an idea.

Answer 1

New York, of course.

Look up New York City and you will find plenty of exciting things.

Answer 2

Massachusetts. Right near the place where I ski in Princeton is a big rock called Redemption Rock. This housewife was kidnapped by Indians and dragged all the way to Canada. Her husband ransomed her and they returned her at this big rock in the woods. It blows my mind that she had to hike all the way to Canada when I drive there and it takes me 5 hours.
The Mohawk Trail is now a 2-lane highway , but once it was really just a foot trail that the tribes would run to communicate with the Seven Nations. You can see the areas the Indians lived in and fished in etc. Now we have factories, schools and houses, but many of the woods where they fished and hunted are still there.
The history here goes back way before the colonies. I love living here.
Good luck on your project. Hope this gave you some ideas.

Answer 3

Well, do you like cities or the country? Beaches? Figure out what you want to do on your "visit," and then choose from there. I would probably go to New York or Massachusetts, because I've never been to NYC, and I'm in love with Boston. I have some family in Maine, too, and they've got some gorgeous views of the ocean and lots of trees. It's nice.

Answer 4

I would visit Pennsylvania. Founded by William Penn, a Quaker, this plentiful colony was, for a while, a safe haven for those of all religions and ethnicities. It was, in a way, similar to the NY of today, a real "melting pot" of various cultures.

Answer 5

I would love to be able to go back in time to the Massachussetts colony and go to Salem to see what the witch hunts were like.
