Wolf Hollow-Ipswich, MA
I think most of us have a certain level of
fascination about the four legged predators that wondered our countryside not to
so long ago. Wolves have been the staring character in drawings, books, movies,
and cartoons (Little Red Riding Hood, Dances with Wolves, The Call of the Wild,
etc.) since man has stood
erect.
...Non-profit foundations like Wolf Hollow go a long way in educating the public about the reality of these animals and how they fit into our modern world.

Sugaring Tours at Ipswich River Audubon Reserve
Real maple syrup comes only from Canada and the
US. The largest producer by far is Ontario
Canada.
...Sap from the trees is collected, moved to a central location (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sap_plastic_tubing.jpg) and boiled in some sort of vat until sweet syrup is formed. Over the years new collection methods have come along and quicker and more industrial cookers have been created, but essentially the process has remained the same.

Old Sturbridge Village-- Western Massachusetts
The staff live and work as the original
occupants did some one hundred and seventy years ago. A little patience, and the
luck of good lighting, and your prize photo is one-sixtieth of a second
away.
Since the staff reenacts the day-to-day activities of the pre Civil War inhabitants it provides a great learning experience for the entire family.
