The classic New England town of Manchester, Vermont is tucked between the Green Mountains and the Taconic Range, and is home to Equinox Mountain, the Taconics’ tallest peak. After a morning at leisure to enjoy your resort’s amenities or explore Manchester as you please, followed by lunch, set off on a self-guided visit to Hildene – the former summer estate of Robert Todd Lincoln, US President Abraham Lincoln’s eldest son, who himself served as US Secretary of War and minister to Great Britain, and his wife Mary Harlan Lincoln. The 1905 Georgian Revival-style mansion – which today is on the National Register of Historic Places and is furnished largely with Lincoln family furniture and artifacts – remained in the Lincoln family until 1975, and has since been restored and maintained by a non-profit group. Dinner is included this evening.
Head for the White Mountains via the state capital, Montpelier, and the elegant gold-domed State House. This afternoon, arrive in Bretton Woods for a two-night stay at the historic Omni Mount Washington Resort, one of the last grand hotel resorts in New England. Since its opening in 1902, this palatial hotel has been a magnet for presidents, robber barons and celebrities; Babe Ruth and Thomas Edison loved to golf here; in 1944, the World Bank was established in the Gold Room; the stunning mountain landscapes outside glow with the same colour.
Tour Ends 11.30 AM: After breakfast, travel to Boston (approx. 80 miles).
This is your last day of this escorted tour, however your adventure doesn't have to end here. Perhaps you may want to extend your stay and catch a train to New York city or maybe head to the sandy beaches of Florida?
