Episode 105: Lost and Found

This week on Weekends with Yankee, we’re lost, and found. First stop: Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island, where we’re in search of the glass orbs that one local artist makes and tucks away like hidden treasures for locals and visitors to discover. Next stop: Dummerston, Vermont, where we find an incredible orchard paradise filled with heirloom apples that can be traced back to the earliest days of American history. Finally, we wrap up with a visit to the spectacular Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, home to a priceless art collection amassed by one of Boston’s most unorthodox and remarkable patrons.
