North East Fly Drives

This region stretches up from the land of the early settlers in Virginia to the Canadian border. The New England region encompasses six states in the northeastern corner that share a rich common heritage and this is reflected in the area's historical sightseeing. But each state has its own particular character and its own special attractions. The country inns, timbered barns, antique shops, small towns and covered bridges provide perfect settings for your tour. Enjoy distinctive New England food, especially along the coastline where you will also find artists' colonies with galleries, museums and long sandy beaches. Spend time hiking on well marked trails that offer stunning vistas or relax on a sailboat at one of the area's many lakes. Step back in time at one of the many living history villages that show life in times past.

New York State includes the US side of Niagara Falls, the Finger Lakes region and of course the wonderful city of New York. Close by Pennsylvania is a state full of history which comes to life in exhibits and monuments. Here Lancaster County shows you a simpler way of life where thousands of Amish and Mennonite residents live a life of times past. Philadelphia offers visitors a cosmopolitan way of life alongside the history of a city where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Liberty Bell rang out.

The Capital region includes Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia and includes beautiful Atlantic beaches, barrier islands, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Civil War historical sights.

Newport Mansions - The area south of Newport is ringed by a famous 10-mile-long route known as Ocean Drive along which are perched some of New England's grandest mansions, known to their wealthy owners as 'cottages'. Some of the mansions are open to the public and include The Breakers, built for Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Marble House built for Alva Vanderbilt

Salem - Salem is best known for one of the most notorious periods in American history when, in 1692, hundreds of men, women and children put their neighbours on trial as witches and wizards. Suspicions and accusations fell on more than 150 people. Eventually fourteen women and five men were hanged but several more died in jail. Whatever the true cause of the accusations, one certain thing is that the phenomenon has become a cottage industry here. Salem is now a home for many psychics
