New England


New England is made of six states. They are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. New England is big in industry but also in things like produce and lumber. There are also many historical sites to see in New England.

One of the many historical sites you can see is Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. Mystic Seaport recreates the 1820 whaling port. At Mystic, there are shops, craftsmen, and even the last real live whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan. You can climb aboard the ship and learn about it.

Another great place to visit is Boston. Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the biggest city in the state. The city is a mix of old buildings and new. Its biggest industry is electronics and education, with 47 colleges and universities. One of the colleges, Harvard, the oldest university in the United States, was founded in 1656!

New England is a great place to go on vacation and I hope I can visit it someday.
