The Most Beautiful and Underrated Towns In Massachusetts

Massachusetts is full of quaint and rather historic towns, some of which they call the Bay State’s “best-kept secrets,” according to PureWow. It's no surprise that some of these towns are considered the "most underrated."

For example, it's “vibrant and energetic community” in the Berkshires (which I can definitely vouch for), along with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) and Natural Bridge State Park. Which by the way is considered #1 in the USA which you can check out here.
