 Lighthouses
Aren't the Only Reason People Found Their Way Here
New England and eastern Canada have an unmistakable
charm, history and natural beauty all their own, and
there's no better time to visit than the fall. The
foliage is brilliant in every imaginable color,
lighthouses dot the coastline, and there's always an
authentic lobster bake going on somewhere.
