May 27, 2027 - Provincetown
Provincetown (or P-town as it's known locally), Massachusetts, exudes an artists-colony atmosphere. It's also known for its large LGBTQ community, which began growing there in the 1920s. In summer, the town is jammed with people sunning, partying and shopping (a lot of it trendy and pricey).
The Provincetown Art Association and Museum showcases the work of some of New England's foremost artists. The Expedition Whydah Museum and Gift Shop is a literal treasure trove: The sunken booty of the pirate ship Whydah was excavated in 1984 and is now on display.
Even during Provincetown's busiest time of the year, things get quiet—almost mysterious—when fog rolls in at Race Point, just outside of town.
May 28, 2027 - Plymouth, Massachusetts

From museums to the Plimouth Plantation, where history repeats itself daily, Plymouth is a fantastic place to explore.

May 30, 2027 - Newport, RI
Newport became important as a resort for wealthy industrialists who built their “summer cottages”, modeled after European palaces, here and elevated Newport to position of “Queen of Summer Resorts.” A tour of the mansions is a must. Newport is also famous as a yachting capital and site of international tennis championships. Colonial Newport boasts a collection of 18th- and 19th-century and pre-Revolutionary buildings. Colonial Downtown is best explored on foot, and much of the town was burned down during British occupation, but enough buildings survived to rival Boston in number of original 18th-century homes. George Washington’s assurances to Newport’s Jewish community of religious liberty encouraged them to build Touro Synagogue in 1763, making it the oldest in the nation. St. Mary’s Church is the oldest Catholic parish in Rhode Island. The Grand Newport Casino and International Tennis Hall of Fame held the first national tennis championship in 1881 and is now Tennis Hall of Fame with a museum on tennis fashions and trophies.

Jun 01, 2027 - New Bedford
From 1820 to 1860, the waterfront town of New Bedford, Massachusetts, was the world's most active whaling port, which made it one of the world's wealthiest cities of its time.
In addition to 90 restored buildings, this town 60 mi/100 km south of Boston has the New Bedford Whaling Museum on Johnny Cake Hill. Visitors there can board a fully rigged half-scale model of a whaling bark and watch a film that takes viewers along on a 19th-century whaling expedition (http://www.whalingmuseum.org).
Across the street is the Seamen's Bethel, the chapel described in Herman Melville's Moby Dick. The Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum provides a glimpse into the daily life of a wealthy whaling merchant and his family circa 1834. The New Bedford Fire Museum, with its collection of antique fire trucks and firefighting equipment, showcases another side of the town's history.
Bargain shoppers will want to check out the factory outlets in town.
The Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery, just west of New Bedford, produces nationally acclaimed sparkling wines. Tour the winery, walk the grounds and take in pastoral vistas.
New Bedford's annual events include the Whaling City Festival (mid-July), Feast of the Blessed Sacrament (celebrating Portuguese culture—early August), the Working Waterfront Festival (September) and the Apple-Peach Harvest Festival (after Labor Day).
