h67st Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My wife and I have never been to Connecticut or Rhode Island; we spent a vacation in New Hampshire and Vermont a few years ago and loved it. We are planning to visit these 4 states in summer or fall so if you know of some interesting spots we should see please tell me! Thank you in advance.

Popular Post gxbxc Posted February 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2019 Like Hatcity I lived in Danbury ,And with the state fair long gone Danbury is a keep going nothing to see here kind of place . But if you are going to Vermont Then Take Rt 7 north out of Danbury and see the covered bridges in Kent and Cornwall. There is a great resturant in Kent .Take the time to ride the train along the river At North Cannan before entering Mass.on the way to Vermont.if you want to take the coast road go to Mistic seaport and then on to Essex (steam trains and oldest city)with a sea port Jog up the river to Tour the Gillette Castle in East Hadam and ride the ferry before going east to Cape code. But if you are into State Fair The BIG E in west Springfield Mass is the place to be in the fall find a hotel in Enfield Ct (easiest way to fair) Book Soon. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55625-new-england-vacation/#findComment-415896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Depending on interests, there is the air museum at Bradley Field which is north of Hartford, CT. The North East Motor Sports Museum is full of local vintage racing equipment at the track in Loudon, NH. I enjoy visiting the "cottages" of Newport, RI. Newport is a fun place but it is also the world's largest zoo during peak summer! https://www.neam.org/index.php https://www.nemsmuseum.com/ https://www.discovernewport.org/ 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Brocky Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) To add to what Paul, 41 Chevy, said the Mystic Seaport near the Groton Sub museum on I-95 is a complete late 1800's whaling village with big sailing ships. And if you get on up into Maine there is the Erv Bickford Collection in Yarmouth.. Part of it is open 24/7 in the city park and the main display, restoration shop and storage yard is open with a phone call.. Right now I do not know if the late Daryl Gushee's New Glouster ME collection / facilities are open. A phone call would not hurt..

h67st Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Since Allentown is on the way, is the Mack museum worth a stop? Does anyone know how many trucks they have on display?

Brocky Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Not only the Mack Museum but the America on Wheels museum in downtown Allentown. Everything from 1890 horses up thru the modern high dollar sports cars. It has many Mack trucks and cutaway parts. The 1910 Brockway owned by Mack.. One room showing a start to finish restoration.. I think there was some Andretti money involved in getting it started??? 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55625-new-england-vacation/#findComment-415964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
