The trees turn a fiery array of reds, oranges, and yellows, the grass smells fresh, and the coastal breeze feels calming. Beyond that, several New England towns celebrate autumn with festivals, food, fairs, and other seasonal events, too. Here, we compiled…
History enthusiast or not, there’s no denying the oldest hotels in the U.S. hold a certain romantic allure. After all, their rooms have been reserved by legends, they’ve witnessed the tales in history books first-hand, and their timelessness evokes an overall sense of nostalgia. So while much of the attention goes to the shiny and…
