Charlottesville?  Plymouth??  Sorry, but I'm not sure you've ever been
to Plymouth.  What you get in Plymouth is a little monument
commemorating a rock that almost certainly *wasn't* where the pilgrims
first landed, and an okay historical re-creation/re-enactor village. 
It's probably 100 times less significant than Boston, which I guess is
properly the Boston area.

I'd rather have some criteria for the list.  Your list doesn't make
much sense to me.
