Here, we’ve paired contemporary and archival photographs of the journey, which spans Vermont, northern New Hampshire, Portland, Maine and ends in Boston, Massachusetts.

Very nostalgic photos of the era of my youth. Love the old Packard sedan. My favorite high school teacher still drove a Packard 120 in the late 1940s.
