For those willing to venture a bit farther, the Touro Synagogue National Historic Site in Newport (27 miles) and the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park (29 miles) showcase America's rich cultural and maritime heritage.

The slightly longer drives to New Bedford or to Adams National Historical Park (32 miles in Quincy, Massachusetts) are perfect for weekend getaways. Most parks offer free or low-cost admission, and many have visitor centers with helpful maps and information. Check individual park websites before you go, as hours and seasonal closures vary, and consider visiting during shoulder seasons for smaller crowds while enjoying pleasant weather.
