places to go in Massachusetts?

Question

I'm doing a travel project on Massachusetts and I need ideas/suggestions for places to go and things to see. They can be big touristy attractions, or smaller things like restaurants or quirky art galleries. I just have to make up an interesting and fun itinerary, and price is not a concern for the project.
