But Hidden New England goes beyond the historical attractions to today’s New England—a lively, multicultural region offering unique experiences, outdoor adventures and cosmopolitan locales. Author Susan Farewell appreciates New England’s quirky personality and makes sure to tell readers how to experience it for themselves. Encouraging visitors to meet the residents who have set up shop and are running things their own way, she guides travelers to friendly, unpretentious spots where the owner’s personal style defines the inn’s decor or the spices in the chowder.
