Massachusetts is home to great American cities that played a big role in the country’s history. One of those cities is Waltham, which played a role during the American Industrial Revolution. The city is home to one of the earliest labor movements in America. Besides, it earned the nickname “watch city” because of the watch industry’s contribution to the city’s economy.

Today, the city is home to estates built by philanthropists and millionaires like Gore Place. Plus, there are a number of tourist attractions and great restaurants within the city. If you fancy Indian cuisine during your visit here, you will find plenty of nice Indian restaurants for satisfying your cravings.
