October 2026 is the 250th anniversary of America's independence — and there's no better place to be for it than Boston.

You'll walk the Freedom Trail with a local guide, tour Fenway Park, explore Harvard, take in the Sam Adams brewery, and spend a memorable day in Salem during the witch trials season — when the whole town is decorated and the Salem Witch Museum is at its most atmospheric.
