By Patricia Harris and David Lyon We’ve been as guilty as anyone of barely slowing down as we’ve driven through Pittsfield on our way from Tanglewood in Lenox to Mass MoCA in North Adams. In years past, Pittsfield seemed to be merely a crossroads with shuttered retail shops and all the untidy business of Berkshire […]
Malcolm Greenaway’s photographs of Block Island capture rare scenes that only a few people will ever witness in person. He shoots with the eye of a photographer and the soul of a philosopher, in places and under conditions that even islanders miss. I know Block Island well, though not quite as intimately as Malcolm, who […]
Rhode Island’s only covered bridge is very much alive, located in Foster RI, this 40′ bridge spans the Hemlock Brook. It uses the lattice-truss method of construction and was rebuilt in 1994. It’s officially listed as part of the “leaf-peeper trail. A true treasure to see.

This Dam is located in the Burriville section of Rhode Island and is quite old to say the least. As I studied its construction, it amazed me the all the granite blocks just lay there in rows, one on top of the other. No telling what is on the other side or how it was constructed more than two hundred years ago. Truly a treasured spot in Rhode Island.

These hill towns are thick with creative arts, rural beauty, cultural diversity, and great music and […]

THIS ITINERARY covers a big chunk of Vermont’s northwestern corner, some of the most unvarnished and underpopulated nooks in the land o’ leaves. Compared with any other New England state, Vermont has more designated scenic highways (highways made more beautiful by the lack of billboards, which Vermonters have outlawed). The Green Mountain State offers beautiful […]
YOU DON’T HAVE to be a hiker to enjoy New Hampshire’s majestic White Mountains, where roads lead into the heart of New England’s most renowned peaks. Make this drive and along the way you can visit inns and eateries with broad views of Mount Washington (New England’s highest peak at 6,288 feet) and the Presidential […]
FORTUNATE QUIRKS OF geography have saved both the region of western Maine from Bethel to Fryeburg and the area from the New Hampshire border to the Waterfords from condo developers and the tourism industry. Most travelers passing through, usually on Routes 2 or 302, are hustling from the tourist meccas of coastal Maine to those […]
Sounds like a computer to me. The day was just beautiful and the apples were ready to pick.
