  • Dear Friend and Fellow History Buff
    PLEASE PRING THESE ENTIRE FIVE PAGES. THE LAST TWO PAGES MUST BE MAILED IN TO SECURE YOUR RESERVATION. Dear Friend and Fellow History Buff: We’ve saved the best for last. Autumnal New England. Glorious fall foliage, the colors splashed against mountain ranges carpeted by hickory, maple, and the sweet gum. The days are warm – most of the time – the evening air is crisp — and the landscape dotted with villages as stylized as a Grandma Moses painting. Which reminds me: among half a dozen places we’ve never visited before is the acclaimed Bennington Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of Moses’ work. It’s just one of the sites that make this fall’s “A Presidential Tour of New York, New England & the Hudson Valley” (October 1 – 10, 2016) a combination of old favorites and such first-time attractions as Washington Irving’s Sunnyside estate; the newly renovated FDR Library and Museum; the Ground Zero Memorial and 9/11 Memorial Museum; and the Concord Museum, home to an original Paul Revere lantern, not to mention Emerson’s study and the contents of Thoreau’s famous cabin at nearby Walden Pond. I needn’t remind you that our hotels – most booked for two or even three night stays – are the cream of the crop. Likewise, we’ll be dining at such celebrated institutions as Sylvia’s Soul Food in Harlem, Boston’s Union Oyster House (JFK’s favorite), the world-famous Culinary Institute of America, and the legendary Durgin Park in the shadow of a teaming Quincy Market (we’ve been careful to set aside free time in Boston to allow those so inclined to shop till they drop).

  • Cape Cod Lighthouses TCCI
    Cape Cod Lighthouses Locations Click on a lighthouse on the map for more information The climb up circular stairs to the top of a lighthouse tower is not for the squeamish or for those afraid of heights. Most lighthouses have interesting stories related to their history. Some are open to the public and have “visiting hours.” Others are open only on special occasions. Usually a tour guide will take you through the building and offer you tales of lighthouse living. The winding staircases, the distant echo of your footsteps, waves hitting against the rock, distant ship hooting…that’s the dejavu you get when you visit the Cape Cod Lighthouses. It is as if you are part of the whole system that emits navigational lights to guide hundreds of ships to dock safely. Lighthouses are navigational aids that mark the perilous reeds, hazardous shoals and poorly charted coastlines for safe harbor entry. Once upon a time, the lighthouses were the marine pilot’s most important aids but the advent of electronic navigation has led to their decline. The system of lights and lamps on the lighthouses are also expensive to maintain. The vantage points occupied by the lighthouses make them a tourists’ attraction. You’ll go up the winding staircase with your pair of binoculars and voila! The beautiful Cape Cod Coastline spreads right before your eyes. Race Point Light Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the Race Point Lighthouse is one of the historical building in the National Register of Historic Places. It was first built in 1816, but the current 45-foot tall tower was built in 1876.
