New England is a multi-faceted region full of a richness of culture and history unique in the United States. From the founding of America in Boston, Massachusetts, the midnight ride of Paul Revere and the Boston Tea Party, to Herman Melville's writing of Moby Dick, Tanglewood in the Berkshires, the Presidential Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where Mount Washington looms and the Mount Washington Hotel beckons to visitors and tourists. The wilds of Maine, Kennebec River, the beautiful coastline of Maine from Ogunquit and York Beach, to Kennebunkport, Higgins and Yarmouth beachs are prime summer vacation spots. |
Vermont is famous for cheese and the Green Mountains have excellent ski areas like Mount Snow, Stratton Mountain, Killington, and Pico, and of course Stowe and the nearby Trapp Family Lodge. Connecticut is as Yankee as all of the Northeast, from the south shore along Long Island Sound, Bridgeport, New Haven and Yale, to Monhegan Sun and all of the fall foliage, so prized by leaf-peepers. Beautiful, quaint, New England towns have all the charm of the colonial era, with luxury amenities. Folksy decorations and great, romantic inns and bed & breakfasts. |
