New England experience: New England is a beautiful and distinctly American region rich in history, culture and natural beauty. The region has four unique seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring. In the New England countryside you can explore white sand beaches and lighthouses, hike or drive through mountains of brilliant fall foliage, and swim or boat in the lakes. New England is known for its delicious seafood chowder, lobster, baked beans and blueberry pie. It is a place where Colonial history comes alive and traditional pursuits like dairy farming, apple picking and maple syrup production can still be found. But there are also a wide variety of arts and entertainment activities to choose from – you can find something for everyone in New England!
