From Philadelphia's Independence Park to Boston's Freedom Trail, from New York's Federal Hall to Washington's Capitol Hill, from the Potomac to the "honeymooners' paradise" of the Niagara Falls - New England and the Mid Atlantic States are filled with history and tantalising beauty. Those who wish to escape the frenetic pace of the big cities of New York and Boston will be delighted by New England's old charm: the timeless beauty of "America's Rhine" - Hudson River Valley north of New York; the wildlife refuges of Long Island; the unique tangy flavor of Cape Cod; and the historic cities of Worcester and Providence. Washington D.C., the nation's magnificent capital, provides plenty of opportunities for fascinating excursions into the beautiful history-laden hinterland, including Manassas and Fredericksburg, now-silent battlefields of the Civil War, Pennsylvania Dutch Country; the intriguing Appalachian ridges where the first Irish and German settlers put down their roots; and the enchanting scenery around Virginia's Tidewater region. Durable and water-repellant, this map is ideal for writing on and wiping off.
