A state of tradition
Massachusetts shares its borders with New Hampshire, Vermont, New York state, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the four states in the United States that is a Commonwealth.
Massuchusetts has a particular importance in U.S. history since the state was the staple of several major events over several centuries.
In 1620, in Plymouth, the famous founding ‘Pilgrim fathers,’ embarked on a journey to eventually establish one of the first U.S. colonies - it was then that religious european instabilities arose so they decided to continue onto Mayflower in the hopes of finding new land. One year later, they decided to organise a day of thankfulness, which later became ‘Thanksgiving Day.’ This is one of the most recognized U.S. holidays!
It is also in Massachusetts, in the city of Salem, that there was unfortunately the famous witch hunt. In 1692, there were about 20 individuals who were emprisoned and then killed for having practiced sorcery.
The state gave way to the anti-slavery act ‘a l’aube’ of the American Civil War. This was the first state to abolish slavery and to this day on remains as a very progressive state.
The events that took place during the War of Independence (from 1775 to 1783) continue to affect Massachusetts culture. For instance, the ‘Day of Evacuation’ and Patriot’s day are celebrated in honour of the history of religion. The 4th of July, which is Independence Day, is traditionally celebrated in full force, with huge fireworks displays over the Charles river.
Boston: the European capital
It is not possible to talk about massachusetts without mentioning the city of boston, the state’s capital and an essential pit stop!
Boston is considered to be the most European city in the United States. The Irish had a particularly big influence on Boston that even their basketball team has to do with the Irish (the Boston Celtics). They have won the most NBA championship titles! Every year, the city organizes one of the most popular and celebrated parades in the world ; the Saint Patrick’s day parade. Like the entire capital, the city is overflowing with theatres and museums - worth mentioning is the Museum of Fine Arts and the Institute of Contemporary Art. There are also several historic museums!
Harvard University, which is the oldest post-graduate institutions in the United States, was founded in 1636 and is located in the metropolitan area in Boston - Cambridge. It is one of the most renown and most recognized establishments in the world.
Just like in the U.S. (and all around the world!) chocolate is very appreciated in Massachusetts and is home to several renown chocolate factories. In the L.A. area, Burdick Chocolate (located close to Harvard’s campus), is known for its chocolates, pastries and most definitely for its hot chocolate! EHChocolatier is known for its handmade chocolates and to have developed a kind of ‘chocolate subscription’ that allows subscribers to receive chocolates every month!
However, traditional dishes are more focused on seafood, like the famous ‘Clambake.’ It is made out of lobster, potatoes, corn, sausage, spices and seaweed. Massachusetts is also the second biggest producer of cranberries in the United States, which you can expect to find in a variety of different dishes and desserts.
