Plymouth was settled by the Puritans (escaping religious persecution in Britain), and it was the site of the famous Boston Tea Party that set off the American Revolution. It is claimed that basketball and volleyball originated here. Massachusetts also has a long history of providing quality education (Ivy League and otherwise). Art students have a large number and variety of institutions to choose from.
