It’s natural that tourists only push out so far. The multitudes of people that hit Boston’s Freedom Trail and other historical sites generally just stick to staying in the city itself. Some might push out a little further to see sites in Cambridge or even cruise west on scenic Route 2 to Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord and Lexington.
This means that if you push even further west, to the north central part of the state, the tourists are all but gone. You’ll enjoy the trails and waterways in this region, where Johnny Appleseed was born in 1881, generally in the company only of locals…
