Stay : New England culture

It may seem surprising to opt for a thematic visit around culture in New England, as the natural landscapes are so breathtaking. Nevertheless, it is possible to discover, through museums, the most beautiful natural sites of the region. For this, you will need to count on about ten days of driving, because the distances are vast, as everywhere in the United States.
