America turns 250.

Let's go find the candles.

Looking for a history lesson that doesn't feel like homework? You've found it. At 250history.com, the Semiquincentennial Series brings each state's distinctive landmarks to center stage to tell their fast and fun story.

We've wandered through big cities, tiny towns, muddy trails, and neon-lit highways-uncovering 5,000 historic gems along the way.

The Semiquincentennial isn't just a mouthful-it's a reminder that history is alive, sometimes weird, and always waiting to be rediscovered.

Whether you're traveling by road, by printed page, or by imagination; whether you are a lifelong native or visiting for a week, we invite you to explore 100 Massachusetts landmarks that illuminate the one-of-a-kind story of the Bay State.

Drive-in theaters... cranberries... Sears kit houses... trolley parks... Lariat

Rope... diners... history-changing forts... nails... lighthouses... whales...

boardwalks... pioneering railroads...mimetic architecture... kissing

bridges... ice houses... octagonal buildings... chocolate... post office

murals... clam shacks... tea parties... life-altering inventions... Carne-

gie libraries... ski lodges... The Big E... carousels... stone bridge mas-

terpieces... Shakers... Carpenter Gothic cottages... candlepins... This

book will have you telling stories like a native in no time.

The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn

the explanations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that

make Massachusetts uniquely Massachusetts. What Massachusetts

cemetery was a major tourist attraction in the 1800s? Solved. At what

course was golf's ""shot heard round the world"" fired? A mystery no

more. What tunnel in Massachusetts claimed more lives to build than

the Hoover Dam and Golden Gate Bridge combined? Identified.

It is a story only Massachusetts can call its own. A story told in 100 landmarks. Almost all the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, fire up the GPS and see the story of the Bay State standing in plain sight on Massachusetts streets!
