Highland, was the official residence of fifth President James Monroe and his wife, Elizabeth Kortright Monroe, from 1799 to 1823. Purchased in 1793, Monroe and his family permanently settled on the property in 1799 and lived at Highland for twenty-four years. Personal debt forced Monroe to sell the plantation in 1825. Before and after selling Highland, Monroe spent much of his time living at Oak Hill.

The estate is now owned, operated and maintained by Monroe’s alma mater, the College of William and Mary.

You’ll see the broad streets and summer “mansions” of Cape May’s east side on this trolley tour – an area marketed as “New Cape May” at the turn of the 20th Century. Today, new, beachfront second homeowners have continued the tradition, running the gamut from the mere wealthy to the fabulously rich.

Whalehead
Whalehead is a beautifully restored 1920s Art Nouveau style residence that is open to the public for museum tours. The grand residence, dressed in bold yellow and striking copper, stands in Historic Corolla Park and overlooks the Currituck Sound. The Whalehead invites visitors to experience its intriguing past and hear its fascinating story. The fascination begins as you step back in time to an era reminiscent of prohibition and women’s rights. Learn about the life and times of the wealthy Knights who spent winters in Corolla hunting, relaxing and entertaining in this lavish cottage. The day-to-day way they lived, the guests that visited, the dinners that were served… it is a story that lives on in this beautifully restored mansion.
Currituck Beach Lighthouse
First lit on December 1, 1875, the beacon filled the remaining “dark spot” on the North Carolina coast between Cape Henry and Bodie Island lighthouses. It is one of the only lighthouses in America that still houses its original first-order Fresnel lens. The light continues to flash today at 20-second intervals, serving as a navigational aid. The beacon, which can be seen for 18 nautical miles, comes on at dusk and ceases at dawn.
Wild Horse Tour
Where the paved road ends in Corolla, you’ll find sandy beaches accessible only by 4×4 vehicles. It is on this stretch of beach from ocean to sound that is home to the legendary Corolla wild horses. The wild horses of Currituck remain the most treasured locals in the Northern Outer Banks.
Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island
Amongst the shallow blue waters of the Outer Banks lies Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island. Shaped by constant winds of change, Fort Raleigh has become a focal point of American history. From the first Algonquian-speaking people to the first English colonies, from formerly enslaved people starting anew to an inventor testing new radio technology, this island continues to be a place to forge new paths.
Elizabeth Gardens
The Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, North Carolina, are a stunning botanical treasure located on Roanoke Island within the historic Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. Created by The Garden Club of North Carolina, the gardens were designed as a living memorial to the first English colonists who attempted to settle in the New World over 400 years ago. Highlights include; Colorful seasonal flower displays and ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss, A magnificent Queen Elizabeth I bronze statue, symbolizing the connection to England’s Elizabethan era, Elegant fountains, manicured lawns, and scenic sound front views and peaceful walking paths, perfect for photography or quiet reflection.
Wright Brothers Memorial
Come experience the place where two young brothers from Dayton, Ohio experimented with flight in the early 1900s, and finally succeeded on a cold winter day with the world’s first controlled, sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight.
Exploring the grounds gives you an opportunity to see reproductions of the brothers’ 1903 camp buildings, stand at the place where Wilbur and Orville Wright first took to the air in their 1903 flyer and landed, and climb Big Kill Devil Hill to see the nation’s monument commemorating the brothers’ historic achievement. You can also take in an interpretive program on the brothers and examine the replica of the 1903 flyer.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a breathtaking stretch of protected coastline along North Carolina’s Outer Banks, known for its unspoiled natural beauty, iconic lighthouses, and rich maritime history. Spanning more than 70 miles of barrier islands, Cape Hatteras features pristine beaches, rolling dunes, salt marshes, and diverse wildlife habitats.
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States, famous for its striking black-and-white spiral design and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse protects one of the most hazardous sections of the Atlantic Coast. Offshore of Cape Hatteras, the Gulf Stream collides with the Virginia Drift, a branch of the Labrador Current from Canada. This current forces southbound ships into a dangerous twelve-mile long sandbar called Diamond Shoals. Hundreds and possibly thousands of shipwrecks in this area have given it the reputation as the Graveyard of the Atlantic
Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum
The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras is named in honor of the thousands of shipwrecks that rest in the waters off North Carolina’s coast and is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the state’s coastal and shipwreck history.

Trillions of gallons of water are forced into this accelerating trough–the sight will take your breath away!
Whirlpool Aero Car
Soar the Great Gorge, high above the racing Niagara River. You’ll be transported through the air in an antique cable car, while far below the torrent of water abruptly changes direction and creates one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomena – the Niagara Whirlpool, sometimes frightening and always unforgettable!
Butterfly Conservatory
Located on the grounds of the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, you’ll be transported to a tropical paradise full of lush vegetation, trickling waterfalls and thousands of vibrantly colored butterflies. Over 2,000 butterflies, made up of 45 different species, call this beautiful space home.

Guided tour of Portland
Our local guide will board the coach and give a narrated tour of Portland – Maine’s largest city-by-the-sea. You’ll see views of Longfellow’s boyhood home, sea captain houses and the elegant Mansions as you drive through historic neighborhoods overlooking the islands of Casco Bay in Portland Harbor. The tour includes a stop at Portland Head Light. This historic landmark is the most photographed lighthouse in America, set in Fort Williams Park with crashing surf, a beach, and an old fort.
Boothbay Harbor is a small, coastal town in Maine known for its maritime heritage, seafood, and many activities.

Tour along Park Loop Road and see: Sand Beach and Thunder Hole – where the waves crashing against the hollow rocks sounds like thunderclaps, Otter Cliff for wonderful views, continuing to the summit of Cadillac Mountain – the highest of Mount Desert’s seventeen peaks – for spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and the bays and islands beyond.
2-Hour Acadia By Sea Nature Cruise
The Acadia By Sea Nature Cruise is the perfect way to experience the coastal beauty of Acadia National Park and Frenchman Bay! We’ll cruise past some of the most breathtaking scenery in New England. From the shear granite cliffs to smooth rock beaches, you’ll see a rugged maritime landscape etched by glaciers and battered by sea & wind. Here, the ocean teems with life; harbor and grey seals on ledges, nesting bald eagles, and pods of harbor porpoise chase schools of herring. This cruise provides opportunities to see a variety of seabird species such as gulls, northern gannets, double crested cormorants, black guillemots, and eider ducks! We stay in the protected waters of Frenchman Bay, which is rich in history-home to the Wabanaki for thousands of years, explored by Europeans as early as the 1600’s, and eventually settled by the late 1700’s.
Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Observatory
The Fort Knox Historic Site features one of the best-preserved examples of coastal defense fortifications constructed in the mid-1800s. It is America’s first fort named after Major General Henry Knox. The PNO is the tallest bridge observatory open to the public in the world. Visitors to the observatory ride Maine’s fastest elevator up 420′ feet for breathtaking 360-degree views of the Penobscot Bay area.
You’ll attend the 79th Annual Maine Lobster Festival along the Rockland harborfront where lobster is king! Feasting and festivities include music and entertainment and of course – feasting on hot Maine lobster and other Maine delicacies such as blueberry pie, fried clams, shrimp cocktail, steamed mussels! At years past festivals, nearly 8 tons of lobster was prepared in the world’s largest lobster cooker – plus many other seafood and non-seafood items for lunch on your own today. Rockland is the entry point to Penobscot Bay, perhaps the most scenic body of water on the eastern seaboard. There is a wonderful boardwalk surrounding the park so you can sit back and enjoy the festivities and ocean breezes! Or explore Rockland’s Main Street with art galleries and shops just steps from the gate.
Freeport and shopping at LL Bean Store
Experience why Freeport is New England’s favorite shopping destination. Located on the shores of Casco Bay, Freeport is world-famous for hundreds of brand-name outlets and local boutiques housed in charming brick buildings, some dating back as far as the 18th century. Rich in history, nature and the arts, you’ll come to shop and stay to play.

Salem’s connection to Halloween begins with the tragic events that unfolded during the Salem Witch Trials. The 19 innocent victims who lost their lives in 1692 were not witches, they were only so accused due to Puritan beliefs of the time. The Salem Witch Trials were later revived with Arthur Miller’s 1953 work, The Crucible, and again in 1992 during the tercentenary of the events and the unveiling of the Salem Witch Trials Memorial. By 1982, the City has planned the first Salem Haunted Happenings Festival during Halloween weekend. The festival was an effort to provide family-friendly events for guests who were interested in visiting the “Witch City.” Following the first festival’s success with about 50,000 guests in attendance, the annual event has continued to grow each season, drawing everyone from families, couples, history buffs, and Halloween enthusiasts from all over the world.
Today, members of the modern Pagan and Witch communities have a home in Salem, where Samhain is celebrated each October recognizing the end of the harvest season and the coming of winter. The City’s modern witches have the unique opportunity of being able to share their beliefs and celebrations with both locals and out of town guests who come to celebrate the Halloween season in Salem.
Salem Witch Museum

Also known as the American Renaissance, this period in American history was marked by America’s rapid economic growth and emergence as a world power. Darius Ogden Mills, father of Ogden Mills, established the family fortune by investing in banks, railroads and mines. Ogden Mills, like his father, was a noted financier and philanthropist. In 1882 he married Ruth Livingston, whose family had been prominent landowners in the Hudson Valley since the 17th century. In 1890, Ruth Livingston Mills inherited her childhood home and property which had once belonged to her great-grandfather, Morgan Lewis, the third governor of New York State.
