It was here in the Northeast that the seeds of our great nation were sown. It's a place where the Pilgrims first set foot on a rock that's proudly displayed in Plymouth (previously Plimouth), Massachusetts. It's a place where the voices of great philosophers and theologians can still be heard and some of their homes visited. It's a place from which independence grew, and where, even today, the North Church steeple rises from the streets of Boston and muskets can still be heard firing on the bridge to Lexington. It's a place that has produced Presidents, Vice Presidents, senators, congressmen and statesmen. And some of the greatest minds this nation has nurtured were educated here at four of the six Ivy League colleges and universities: Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale.

Choosing which state to visit is the toughest part of your journey. New England's diversity makes the region a magical place, especially as it travels through the seasons when the changes are as stark as they are in any other place on the planet. To go, do, see and learn it learn it all would take a century of dedicated travel. But for most of us, we have to compress as much as possible into two weeks. So how does one choose?

We've set up New England Guide.Com to help you, in as many ways as possible, decide. Here are the different categories to consider: By State, By Recreational Activity, By Entertainment Activity and By Accommodation. Just use the Choose Destination Menus below.
