If you are planning to rent an RV and go somewhere no one knows you, or head to some small and calm place to avoid the fast pace of a rushing city, or to simply change your surroundings and explore some new location for a short period of time, then Merrimac, MA could be a great place to start your journey. A small town located in Essex County, Massachusetts and housing some 7 thousand residents, Merrimac was once known as a fishing and agricultural settlement, established in 1638. Later on, the settlement developed further and in the nineteenth century, due to manufacturing boom, Merrimac became known for its horse-drawn carriage manufacturing industry. But as automobile magnates later annihilated the horse-carriage industry, Merrimac quickly transformed into a mainly residential area and its industry was relocated towards the Midwest.
