asm206 10 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My troop just got back from Boston where we did the freedom trail. We have done Philly and New York in recent years. And the boys enjoy these trips. Does anyone have a suggestion of a city to explore in 2010? We are located near NYC. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have a great hike that gets you all around London without ever using a street or a road. Kinda long way from New York! Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites

GKlose 24 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Come back to Boston! If you limited yourself to the Freedom Trail, you missed the Emerald Necklace, a 7+ mile-long series of interconnecting parks, laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted. There's always D.C. too. This time of year, you'd hit a bit warmer weather than the northeast! Guy Link to post Share on other sites
ghermanno 11 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 CT has quite a few cities that might interest. Groton area has submarine museam as well as Mystic Seaport and aquarium. Then there are the Revolutionary war sites throughout CT. If done in the fall, there is also apple picking. So many things to do in the Northeast.... Rick Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You may want to consider "The Industrial Heritage Trail" of Minsi Trails Council. The hike is along the Lehigh in the towns just north of Allentown. Amoung the sights is what used to be the "silk capital" of the United States, the summer home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the foundation of the cement industry, the first limestone kilns in the colonies Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1615 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Baltimore. City Industry Museum. Flag House. Fort McHenry. Maryland Science Museum. Waterfront includes National Aquarium, Lightship Chesapeake, USCGC Taney (WW2), USS Torsk, (WW2sub), and USS Constellation (civil war sloop o'war). All within about a 7 mile circuit. Arrange for overnight on one of the ships (recommend the Constellation!) See www.constellation.org They can send you mucho tourist stuff, too. Get apatch! B&O RR Museum , abit further off, but worth the visit. Take the bus... Link to post Share on other sites
