Massachusetts

Send us Fan MailMassachusetts—known as the Bay State—is more than just a birthplace of the American Revolution. In this sweeping episode of Info On The Go, we explore its deep and complex history, from the vibrant cultures of the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and Pocumtuc tribes, to the arrival of the Pilgrims, the signing of the Mayflower Compact, and the founding of Boston as a Puritan "city upon a hill."We spotlight key moments that shaped the nation: the Boston Tea Party, the battles of Lexington and Concord, and the rise of abolitionism led by powerful voices like Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and William Lloyd Garrison. You’ll also hear about the Salem Witch Trials, Shays’ Rebellion, and the creation of the Massachusetts Constitution—the first to abolish slavery.But Massachusetts' story doesn’t stop in the past. From revolution to innovation, we trace its evolution through the Industrial Revolution, education reform, LGBTQ+ civil rights, and cutting-edge biotech exports. We even dig into cranberries, quahogs, and the Big Dig.Whether you’re a history buff, a curious traveler, or just someone who loves learning, this episode serves up centuries of bold ideas, brave actions, and lasting legacies—from Plymouth Rock to Harvard Yard.Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Or for Patreonhttps://patreon.com/InfoOnTheGo?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFollow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
