Massachusetts has been significant throughout American history. Plymouth was the second permanent English settlement in North America. Many of Massachusetts' towns were founded by colonists from England in the 1620s and 1630s. During the eighteenth century, Boston became known as the "Cradle of Liberty" for the foment there which led to the American Revolution and the independence of the United States from Great Britain. In the nineteenth century, Massachusetts was the first U.S. state to abolish slavery. Also, it was a center of the temperance movement and abolitionist activity preceding the American Civil War. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legally recognize same-sex marriage. The state has contributed many prominent politicians to national service, including the Adams family and, more recently, the Kennedy family.

Found with BriGuy on our first "bicycle caching day" A 32 cache day for us. Thanks for hiding this geocache, not too sure what BriGuy said as he was quickly walking backwards, Oh, he was saying "Wasp Nest" then I got the idea. Nest is gone, thanks to BriGuy "wasp removal" methods. Best Wishes, DustyRiver - geohooders.com
