In Massachusetts, progressive and culturally rich Boston holds court above the summer resorts of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Westbound from here, you come to the tiny rectangle of Rhode Island and Newport’s Gilded Age mansions. Heading north and inland, you reach rural Vermont’s white clapboard villages and New Hampshire’s mountains and lakes. Finally, Maine has the lion’s share of New England’s coastline and also Acadia National Park, where moose roam and you can find seclusion at even the region’s busiest times.
