Eight years ago, Bill Askenburg established New England Birdhouse of Chelmsford, Mass., a niche business offering custom miniature replicas of clients’ homes that serve as weather-resistant bird shelters.

Clam chowder is a New England tradition which, although there are
many variations, always includes milk or cream, onions, potatoes and
either salt pork or bacon. Although some make their chowder with soft
shelled clams, called “steamers”, in northern New England most use
larger clams, such as quahogs (“ko-hogs”) or cherry stones, which are
chopped.

As one of New England’s most visually unique travel destinations, Acadia National Park is part of the National Park Service located on 108-sq. mile Mt. Desert Island slightly beyond mid-coast Maine. Easily accessible by car (a plain-looking bridge connects from the mainland in Ellsworth, Maine), Acadia features scenic rocky coast, and forested valleys, and lakes and mountains, often dramatically carved by glacial force. It’s an amazing scene, further enhanced by a salt-sea chill in the air, locals with Down East accents and, of course, the chance to eat a Maine lobster dinner at one of the many local restaurants and seafood shacks.
