Vernon, and Alexandria. The
Metropolitan hotel while in Washington will be found a most
pleasant stopping place.
FOURTEENTH DAY - Washington to Gettysburg via Baltimore. While
here pay a visit to Ft. McHenry, Poe's tomb, and Druid Hill
Park, which is one of the most beautiful of America's fine
parks.
FIFTEENTH DAY - Gettysburg to Lancaster via Harrisburg. Travelers
should not miss the wonderful drive along the Susquehanna river
at Harrisburg, for few in the east are as beautiful. It might be
well at this juncture to sound a note of warning in regard to
the use of chains while crossing the mountains, as one cannot be
too careful in using every safeguard.
SIXTEENTH DAY - Lancaster to Valley Forge to Philadelphia.
SEVENTEENTH DAY - Philadelphia. Visit historical places and
lovely park.
EIGHTEENTH Day - Cross ferry over the Delaware at Philadelphia,
through New Jersey to Atlantic City.
NINETEENTH DAY - Atlantic City.
TWENTIETH DAY - Atlantic City to Belmar.
TWENTY-FIRST DAY - Belmar via Asbury Park, Newark and Metuchen to
New York City.
TWENTY-SECOND, TWENTY-THIRD, TWENTY-FOURTH AND TWENTY-FIFTH DAYS-
- New York City. Travelers will find a fine place to stop while
here in the Hotel Theresa.
TWENTY-SIXTH DAY - New York City via Tarrytown to Poughkeepsie.
TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY - Poughkeepsie to Greenfield, Mass., through
the Berkshire hills on the Mohawk trail.
TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY - Greenfield to Providence, Rhode Island, down
the Connecticut river valley, which affords scenery as fine as
any which New England has to offer. The fertile farm lands of
the valley give beauty by way of contrast. The traveler will be
interested in the fields of tobacco which are grown under
canvas. Some of these fields contain thirty acres and others we
were told were still larger.
A most delightful close to a perfect day is the hotel Weldon at
this lovely town. The motorist will find here a quiet, restful
charm that makes for the tired traveler a delightful halt and a
tranquil stopping place for more permanent guests.
"One rarely finds in a rural town a hotel which affords all the
essentials of a city hotel of the first class. The picturesque
entrance with greenery and Italian stone settles, the handsome
office and lounging hall of library effect, the broad passages
and solid woodwork of each floor, the spacious glass-roofed sun
parlor and outer porch, with plentiful vines and other verdure,
and which in summer time are opened widely to the lawn, the
lofty topmost floor recently built (for warm weather guests) of
a semi- Spanish effect by way of broad screen doors on open air
corridors, from airy suites overlooking the woody hill country -
these items are likely to impress the guests with pleasant
surprises."
Then, too, the Weldon is situated in the charming residential
section of the town, of no small natural beauty. But of all
pleasing memories of Greenfield, that of its beautiful tree-
bordered streets will remain the longest.
In passing through the old town of Windsor you will think of
John Fitch whose birthplace was here.
