NEW ENGLAND'S FOILAGE
About New England’s Foliage
Every autumn throughout New England, diminishing length of daylight and falling temperatures induce trees to shed billions of tons of leaves. Preceding this preparation for winter the trees present a spectacular color show. Leaves that have been green all summer turn to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.
These color changes are caused by transformations in leaf pigments, primarily the green pigment chlorophyll. During summer, the leaves of trees are producing sugar from carbon dioxide and water by the workings of light and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll causes the leaves to appear green.
The shorter days and cool nights of autumn set off changes in the tree. One is the growth of a corky membrane at the base of the leaf stem, which interrupts the flow of nutrients into the leaf. This stops the production of chlorophyll in the leaf, and the green color of the leaf fades, allowing the reds, oranges and yellows to burst forth. The best autumn colors are produced when dry, sunny days are followed by cool, dry nights.
Color may begin to appear in isolated spots in far northern New England the first week in September. Typically, the color change begins at the higher elevations and in the northern part of the region mid-September and moves southward through mid-to-late October, ending in southern New England coastal areas at the end of October.
Visitors who travel to see our spectacular foliage are known as, “Leaf-Peepers.” While on your excursion do stop at country stores, orchards, local restaurants and shops. We have suggested some routes for you to drive. We also suggest that you try some backroads. Get a local map, and don’t worry about getting lost. You’ll always bump into a main road sooner or, hopefully, later.
MARITIME NEW ENGLAND
Coastal New England is rich in maritime history: Famous Revolutionary campaigns were fought here, and the whaling industry had its home base in much of the coastal areas. Boating and fishing continue to play an important role in New England life today, as recreational boaters join lifelong lobster and fishermen on Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
Mystic, CT
No journey into the history of New England's maritime culture is complete without a visit to Mystic and the surrounding region. The centerpiece of any trip to the area is the Mystic Seaport, where the heritage of 19th century coastal New England is preserved through exhibits, classes and special events year-round. The Mystic region is also home to two important naval battle sites, at Stonington Boro and Fort Griswold in Groton, CT. Stonington is also home to the last active fishing fleet on the Connecticut coastline. Active boaters and boat riders will find numerous charters, sailing trips and docking areas to enjoy their time on Long Island Sound.
Newport, RI
Long recognized as one of the country's best known boating recreation cities, boaters flock to Newport every year to enjoy the water, the boating events, and socializing with other boaters. Unlike other port cities, Newport attracts a large number of bigger yachts, as well, making it a popular place for boat watchers. Museums in the area detail the history of yachting and the Newport maritime industry. In season, boat shows, races, regattas and boat parades are popular attractions.
Maine's South Coast
A picture of a typical oceanside New England town always includes the lobsterman, headed out in his boat to empty his traps. The South Coast of Maine is home to that picture: Small coastal lobster and fishing villages, quiet coves housing little boats, and dozens of sails flying over the water. Those with a historic interest can visit Portland, a center of whaling and fishing industry during the 19th century.
South of Boston and the South Shore, MA
This region of Massachusetts is home to one of the most famous maritime events in American history, the landing of the Mayflower. Visitors can see a replica of that famous ship in Plymouth. In Fall River, visitors can enjoy a trip on some later historic boats: The Battleship Massachusetts, submarine Lionfish and other veterans of World War II. Throughout the region, there are reminders of our maritime heritage: Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven, the Marine Museum at Fall River -- featuring artifacts from and a replica of the Titanic, the New Bedford Whaling Museum are among the more frequently visited.
