Legendary Journeys and Adventures
Classic New England lives in Boston Common, in the White Mountains aglow with autumn colors, in the general store, the diamond at Fenway Park, and the sustainable soil of Billings Farm... 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's backyard: "New England has always had a special place in American history and American thought. And New England has become Ken Burns's 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."

We just returned from the trip to Hidden Gems of New England and had a really good time. Every day was exciting and would have been better enjoyed only by having better weather. It rained three days! The weather was warm and windy in Boston, but got cooler as we traveled to Vermont.

There were several memorable moments on the trip, but things that stand out in my memory was the Fenway Park Tour, touring Mark Twain's home and staying at the Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire. We had very knowledgeable tour guides which made it interesting.
We had a great trip! Weather was much warmer than we planned for but that was good. Tour Director and bus driver were great. Very knowledgeable. Only negative was the food and service at Jackson Gore Inn. The rooms there were wonderful but not so with the food. All in all, we had a wonderful adventure!
Most Memorable Moment:
Tour of Fenway Park and tour of Mark Twains home.
