The South Coast of Massachusetts (not to be confused with Boston's suburban South Shore) stretches for 30 miles along beautiful Buzzards Bay. From the start of the Cape Cod Canal to the Rhode Island border, its communities are rich in history and are all just an easy day trip from Boston. In this class, we'll trace Massachusetts history through an illustrated discussion of diverse historic sites on and near the South Coast. The region ranges from former industrial powerhouses to picturesque small towns, and it all relates back to the waterways that make the South Coast an appealing destination today. The class will provide historical insight and some great ideas for close-to-home trips focused on history and heritage.
