There’s more to fall in New England than the amazing views of autumn foliage. From apple picking and browsing farmers’ markets to visiting unique shops and, of course, sampling great food, picking the right autumn destination is no easy matter. To guide you to the perfect fall experience, we’ve put together a list of ten of our favorite foliage towns. In one small Connecticut town, farm stands, covered bridges, waterfalls, and antique stores are framed by the colors of our most glorious season. Purchase certified organic maple syrup at a farm originally established in the 1700s, then venture to a park carved into the side of a mountain, where Revolutionary-era residents dug iron ore out of the hills and fashioned it into cannonballs to fire at the British. A small college town in Massachusetts offers dizzying views of the Berkshires and the Taconic Range, as well as an iconic New England scene of church spires and vibrant foliage. And another college town in Vermont lets families soak in the atmosphere as the vivid fall foliage harmonizes with the brick architecture and the roaring falls. Don’t miss the frosty root beers and fried onion rings from one of New England’s last car-hop restaurants; it’s a perfect complement to the crisp fall air.
