Yes we're a little late with our first edition. But... we have a good excuse... high standards. We wanted this online magazine about exploring New England to be full of first class content. And it just took longer than we expected before we felt we'd achieved that. But of course you be the judge.
So we are delighted to introduce Exploring New England, a brand new newsletter and Web site combination. Our goal for this new site is to help you, our visitors, make choices about where to go in a region overstuffed with things to see and places to stay. But we can serve you best if you let us know what you want, so please send an email to Jim Hyde, Editor at: jim@ExploringNewEngland.com to give us your input on what you'd like us to cover.
So sit back and enjoy our first edition, and yes, we're already working on the next edition for you! So stay subscribed because we have a lot of surprises in store.

along the shore. Between Rhode Island Sound, the Atlantic Ocean and Newport’s

Sugar on Snow! How the Old-Fashioned and New Technologies Are Changing How Maple Syrup Is Made
