National Historic Landmarks are touchstones of our collective past that
still resonate with our present. The six New England states have nearly
400 such places. However, important doesn't always translate into
interesting and so we have Historic New England: A Tour of the Region's
Top 100 National Historic Landmarks--those with the most intriguing and
rewarding history. In addition to historic houses, tall ships, and such
quirky spots as one of the country's oldest weather stations, carousels,
and sandy beaches. The book appeals to the historical enthusiast, the
armchair traveler, and both local visitors and tourists alike.
