Liberty’s Legacy
You begin our New England journey in the
winding streets of 17th-century Boston. The
motorcoach takes you along the Freedom
Trail. The Declaration of Independence
comes to life as You see Old South Church
where it was first read to the people of
Boston. You continue on to Paul Revere’s
House and the church where two lanterns
inspired his midnight ride. You see Old
Ironsides, the oldest commissioned warship
in the world and pause at Bunker Hill
to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our
forefathers who held their own against the
British army as a unified force for the first
time. Other evocative sites include our
nation’s oldest school and the 1729 Old
South Meeting House where an outraged
Samuel Adams launched the Boston Tea
Party.
Boston Common, America’s oldest public
park, is now a peaceful oasis with a history
of hangings, duels and spirited speeches.
Historic Quincy Market is America’s bazaar
with more than 100 of the finest shops and
a fleet of pushcarts featuring New England
artisans and their unique wares. Patriotic
shoppers will have their choice of Cape
Cod’s maritime art as well as some unexpected
New England finds along the way.
Riding Rails
Our first scenic rail journey is through New
Hampshire’s White Mountains on the Hobo
Railway. Departing Lincoln’s Hobo Junction
Train Station, the train first passes through
Lincoln and stops at Main Street before
passing along the rocky East Branch of the
Pemigiwasset River before crossing the twospan
trestle bridge. Be sure to watch for
Grandma’s house at Grandma’s Crossing and
the Pemi River.
On the Essex Steam Train, one spectacular
view follows another as You pass through
some of the most beautiful country in the
state of Connecticut. On the Cape Cod
Central Railroad, the Cape’s cranberry
bogs, woodlands, salt marshes, sand dunes
and ocean vistas combined to make this a
memorable journey en route to the Cape
Cod Canal.
Raising Sails
In typical New England fashion, you will
board an island ferry at Casco Bay for a
cruise along the rocky shore of Maine with
fishing fleets and yachts. Sea breezes sweep
away the tensions of our pre-vacation days
as You look for wooded islands, seals and
seabirds. Victorian cottages slip by like postcards
from the past.
You also cruise the Connecticut River and
explore its coves and inlets aboard the
Becky Thatcher. This riverboat looks like it
sailed from the Mississippi River for our
cruise which passes woodlands, riverfront
houses and a castle.
The last nautical adventure is a cruise on
Hyannis Harbor in a replica of a Maine
coastal steamer. Along the shore, the
Kennedy Compound comes into view as you
navigate the shimmering waters where a
presidential yacht once sailed.
Delicious Dining
More than Boston beans are on the
menu. Many of Portland’s restaurants
offer spectacular bay views
and please any taste from surf to
turf to Italian. An after dinner stroll
along the wharf can include boutique
shopping or simply watching
the moon rise over the ocean.
Dining at the Historic Deerfield
Inn is like opening a doorway to
the past in this wonderful historic
village often called the “gem of
rural New England.”
Our dining finale is a traditional
Cape Cod lobster dinner with
optional bibs and the traditional
exchanging of addresses.
