Description
Route 1 in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts is an unapologetic combination of historic gravity, exuberant entertainment, unexpected juxtapositions, and wonderfully kitschy roadside attractions. New England road trippers will encounter roller coasters and candlepin bowling, lobster rolls and homemade pie, colonial-era taverns and granite fortifications. Author and photographer Susan Mara Bregman traveled Route 1 from Fort Kent (ME) to Attleboro (MA) to tell the story of this highway of history. Handicap accessible. Information at 978.977.0514.
