 onnecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont—the six
greatest reasons why vacationing in New England is imperative.
There's more history and diversity here than in just about any other part of the United States, and there's a great deal more than "something" for everyone. Visiting New England is like going home, because it's here that the nation was born.

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.

Arcadia National Park is on Mount Desert in Maine.
Though the affluent of the turn of the century came here to frolic,
they had much to do with preserving the landscape that we know today.
It was from this social strata that George B. Dorr came. He devoted
43 years of his life, energy, and family fortune to preserving the
Acadian landscape.
