Hidden Gems of New England
Hidden Gems of New England
Explore the best of New England on a journey through its picturesque heart, discovering new insights into landmark sites and historic homes, where country farms and nature’s dramatically contrasting vistas evoke the spirit of a place whose ideas shaped America.
Classic New England lives in Boston Common, in the White Mountains aglow with autumn colors, in the general store and the diamond at Fenway Park… the drama of the rugged Maine coast… in Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ studio where images of American heroes were forged, in millwheels, covered bridges, and white-steepled churches, and the rocky soil that has long been fertile ground for thinkers, artists, writers, inventors, entrepreneurs and Revolutionaries. This is, as Dayton Duncan observes, Ken Burns’ backyard: “New England has always had a special place in American history and American thought. And New England has become Ken Burns’ backyard – not just the place where he’s raised his family and made his documentaries in the classic New England town of Walpole, New Hampshire, but also a place intertwined with many of the stories he’s told: Mark Twain, Baseball, The Civil War and The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. It’s a distinct region with its own beauty and its own secret treasures – and who better to share them but one of its proudest residents.”

And hey, everyone must eat, so don't miss the universally praised local seafood, from clam chowder to lobster. Nearly 20 million people visit Boston annually, where they'll walk the Freedom Trail, visit "cradle of liberty" Faneuil Hall, view the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts, and ride a Swan Boat on the lake at Boston Common. |

New Hampshire, a gem of New England, invites travelers to immerse themselves in its stunning natural landscapes and rich historical tapestry. Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, the state is renowned for its outdoor adventures. The iconic Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeastern U.S., offers breathtaking views and a challenging climb for avid hikers. For those preferring a more leisurely experience, the scenic Kancamagus Highway winds through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the region, showcasing vibrant fall foliage and serene rivers. Beyond its rugged terrains, New Hampshire's charming towns and cities each tell their own unique story. Portsmouth, with its well-preserved colonial architecture, invites visitors to stroll its historic streets, explore the Strawbery Banke Museum, and enjoy waterfront dining along the Piscataqua River. Meanwhile, Concord, the state capital, offers a peek into New Hampshire's political history with the New Hampshire State House, the oldest state capitol in continuous use in the United States. For those seeking tranquility, the Lakes Region provides a peaceful retreat with crystal-clear lakes such as Lake Winnipesaukee. Here, visitors can indulge in boating, swimming, and relaxing by the water while enjoying the serene surroundings of the region’s small towns and scenic vistas. Fun fact: New Hampshire is home to the “Old Man of the Mountain,” a natural rock formation that was a beloved state symbol until it collapsed in 2003. Whether you're drawn to the rugged peaks, historic towns, or tranquil lakes, New Hampshire’s blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage offers something for every traveler. |

For the past 100 years, this charming seaside village has evolved from a small fishing hamlet with dirt roads and shacks, to a major vacation resort without losing its charm or magnetism. This little "gem" on the rocky coast of Maine should not be missed. |
