This Bizarre Massachusetts Roadside Attraction Is So Wonderfully Weird You Have To See It Yourself

There are things you expect to see on a drive through Lincoln, Massachusetts, and a field full of rocking horses arranged in a circle is not one of them.

The Charming Italian Restaurants In Massachusetts Perfect For A Relaxing Fall Evening

I’m convinced a plate of pumpkin ravioli counts as overtime pay. You’ve already clocked the hours, so why not collect?. Here’s my take: fall in Massachusetts hands you crisp air and early sunsets for a reason. They practically beg for candlelit pasta, a crackling fireplace, and nowhere else to be.

One spot on this list has been serving spaghetti since 1938. Another has a dish called exploding clams, and I’m convinced that name alone deserves a road trip.
