Fall River is about 15 miles South of Providence, Rhode Island and 45 miles South of Boston. I’ve made the easy trip from both locations, but have not stayed overnight in Fall River itself. Although you can find some nice local eateries, the city still has an industrial feel, which is understandable given its prominent place in the industrial revolution. Unfortunately, the falls for which the town is named were lost when the Quequechan River was diverted to underground culverts.
