Your round-trip ticket to the strangest, wildest, wackiest, most outrageous, and most unusual
people, places, and things New England has to offer!
Whether you're a born-and-raised New Englander, a recent transplant, or just passing through, "The Big Book of New England Curiosities" will have you laughing out loud as we pull back the curtain and present the lighter side of New England--the zany, funky, head-scratchingly eccentric face of this supposedly buttoned-down part of the United States. It will take you places you never could have imagined, some of them right around the corner!
- In Connecticut, take a look at the Village of the Damned.
- In Massachusetts, visit America's oldest pet cemetery.
- In Maine, meet a chain-saw sculptor who can carve the entire alphabet on a No. 2 pencil.
- In New Hampshire, discover a rehab clinic whose patients have been "loved to pieces."
- In Rhode Island, learn the story behind the grand edifice that Providence residents call the "Superman Building."
- In Vermont, visit America's only covered bridge museum (itself a covered bridge).
