From Canadian “harbours” to the sultry bayous of Louisiana, discover the sights and stories of peoples whose cleverness and determination have led to a wealth of varied cultural legacies across this “Eastern” land... from the simplest of timber homes of colonial settlers to the uber-luxurious summer mansions of the gilded age... from the fierce struggles at Gettysburg to the civic pride of a genteel Williamsburg... from the daring steamship captains who braved Niagara Falls to the charming chic of Old Québec... places where heritage and creativity have blended to form stories all their own.


EASTERN USA & CANADA


Need a tall ship repair or a custom- designed sail? Lunenburg, a 250+ year old Nova Scotian


port town, is one of the few remaining communities in North America where those skills are alive and well today. This northernmost colonial settlement, created by the British in 1753 as a “model” 18th-century town, is remarkably preserved. The town’s grid of narrow streets and jewel-toned, pristinely painted wooden buildings reflect a community devoted to craftsmanship, tradition and preservation, that is also highly skilled for today’s modern-day maritime industry.


153 years of non-stop whiskey production ended when the Gooderham & Worts


Distillery (once the world’s largest) shut its doors, leaving behind a gaggle of derelict Victorian buildings just minutes from downtown Toronto. After a decade of investment, developers brought new life to the complex in 2003 as a pedestrian-only district – today one the city’s hippest areas.

be,”Norman Rockwell once said. He created visual stories that focused on the details of everyday life, but in a way that made them seem larger than life. Sincerity, compassion and respect for others spill forth from the faces of his subjects who seem to occupy a world where time is not an issue and connectivity does not require an Internet connection. The Norman Rockwell Museum, one stop along our Classic New England trip, is dedicated to the art and spirit of his work.
