Description

Have you ever wandered through the woods and wondered who’d been there before?

New England’s woods and wild places are full of stories: cannibalism in Vermont, Thoreau’s cold and lonely night on Massachusetts’ Mt. Greylock, an stagecoach inn in New Hampshire.

Using beautiful scenic images the author takes audiences on virtual trips over mountains and through back roads of Vermont, New Hampshire and Western Massachusetts. It’s great inspiration for trip planning or armchair travel!

HISTORY – HIKING – HOSPITALITY – HUMOR

Find out about: Secluded swimming holes, Old-growth forests, Cozy historic inns, Sites of hostage takings and cannibalism, Adventure tourism, Stunning vistas, and Our changing environment.

The slide presentation is suitable for all ages. Alison O’Leary is an award-winning travel writer and journalist and co-author with Michael Tougias of So Close to Home: The True Story of an American Family’s Fight for Survival During World War II as well as the Appalachian Mountain Club guide Best Day Hikes Near Boston.
