That's all I got right now, If I come up with more I'll come back :-)
You covered a multitude...Mass. is so steeped in US history, you can dress the part just about any way....
For instance: Do you have a long skirt and peasant blouse? Add a colonial bonnet and she will look like most of the girls I saw for our 5th grade colonial day celebration where I taught in CT. You do not have to over think this as it was probably meant to add a little flare to their reports. If she likes sports, dance or drama, just have her use what she has to show her own interest.
