What state is close to Boston?

Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help me with a quick geography question. I'm trying to recall the name of the state that is in close proximity to Boston. Is it Massachusetts, perhaps? Or is there another state nearby that I might be forgetting? I'm just trying to clarify my understanding of the region's geography. Could you please clarify for me which state is located NEAR Boston? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
