Featured Destinations
Bretton Woods
Bretton Woods lies within the town of Carroll, New Hampshire. Historically, Bretton Woods was the location of the UN Monetary and Financial Conference in 1944, leading to the establishment of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1945. Today, Bretton Woods is known as New Hampshire’s largest ski area, boasting over 464 acres of pristine snowboarding and skiing fun for all levels. A favorite New England holiday retreat for presidents, celebrities and poets, Breton Woods is known for its luxury resorts in the enchanting mountains. With the beautiful Ammonoosuc River flowing through Bretton Woods, outdoor adventure opportunities abound. Visitors can enjoy river tubing, fly fishing, canopy tours, moose tours, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and more.
Newport, RI
Newport became important as a resort for wealthy industrialists who built their “summer cottages”, modeled after European palaces, here and elevated Newport to position of “Queen of Summer Resorts.” A tour of the mansions is a must. Newport is also famous as a yachting capital and site of international tennis championships. Colonial Newport boasts a collection of 18th- and 19th-century and pre-Revolutionary buildings. Colonial Downtown is best explored on foot, and much of the town was burned down during British occupation, but enough buildings survived to rival Boston in number of original 18th-century homes. George Washington’s assurances to Newport’s Jewish community of religious liberty encouraged them to build Touro Synagogue in 1763, making it the oldest in the nation. St. Mary’s Church is the oldest Catholic parish in Rhode Island. The Grand Newport Casino and International Tennis Hall of Fame held the first national tennis championship in 1881 and is now Tennis Hall of Fame with a museum on tennis fashions and trophies.
Boston
The history and bricklaid beauty of Boston is easy to enjoy. Follow the Freedom Trail past Old North Church, Paul Revere Park, Fanieul Hall, the Commons, Old Ironsides and more landmarks of America's birth. Across the Charles River is Cambridge and Harvard. Venture to Marblehead and Salem to the south, or Lexington and Concord to the north. Back in town, have clam chowder at the warf or great Italian food in North End.
