In response to that earlier New England series, readers suggested The Shelburne Falls Bridge of Flowers, Holyoke's
Dinosaur Footprints, Heritage Museum & Gardens, the Sandwich Glass Museum, and the Rokeby Museum's "Free and Safe"
exhibition.
Also in response to that series, Rob Velella wrote, “If one
does visit Walden
Pond, continue beyond the replica cabin and remember to find the site
of the real thing, a relatively short and simple hike from the swimming area at
Walden. Also, a visit to Sleepy
Hollow Cemetery is an absolute must for those who admire the Concord authors (and
Concord grapes, if you can find Mr. Ephraim Bull). Also, I feel obligated to
point out that The
Wayside is one of those witness structures and one generally open to the
public (currently under rehabilitation). Unrecognizable today from its
appearance in 1775, it is probably better remembered as the home of the Alcott
family and the Hawthornes. It is one building which very well sums up so much
of what makes Concord great.”
Kisha Tracy suggests the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
Military Park, not least because “The Rock
monument is to [her] great-great grandfather’s brigade”!
Next
series starts Monday,

PS. Other
trips (in New England, Virginia, or anywhere else) you’d share?
