Enjoy the Fall Foliage season on this great tour. We travel through Southwestern NH and Northwestern MA for this fun day out. 

Our Day INCLUDES: 

* Guided Tour and Visit to the Cathedral of the Pines - A place of beauty and inspiration, the Cathedral is located in the rolling hills of Southwestern New Hampshire (Rindge, NH) and offers breathtaking vistas of Mount Monadnock. It is an enduring memorial to patriotic service and sacrifice where each of us can personally experience  the presence of the Divine - each in her own way.  Along with the natural and serene beauty of the Cathedral grounds, visitors will find many unique stone shrines, altars and gardens.

*  Luncheon at the Old Mill Restaurant - The Old Mill, originally a saw mill where logs were processed for the new homes of the neighborhood, the Old Mill and its whirling saw sang a song of progress and industry through five generations of ownership in the same family (the Foster Family), before its wheels were stilled and it fell into disrepair.  Today, the Old Mill is noted for tempting foods served in a setting of rare charm. Voices of diners mingle with the merry music of water rushing gaily over the mill dam as it dances its way to the sea. Thus the Old Mill is reborn - its attractive vistas doubled in splendor by their reflection in the mill pond. It has become a shrine to the epicure for its delicious food... to the art lover for its rustic beauty.

*  A Visit to Smith’s Country Cheese - A New England tradition producing outstanding cheeses of all kinds, Smith’s is located in a picturesque spot in the hills of Winchendon, MA.  We’ll enjoy a short informational video of the cheese-making process along with a cheese tasting.  There is a retail store and gift shop on the premises.

* A Visit to Red Apple Farm in Phillipston, MA - This is a farm stand and store full of country goodness and charm.  The Red Apple Farm features fresh baked goods, farm fresh fruits and vegetables and locally made products all in a unique, charming atmosphere.  A wonderful opportunity to bring home unusual and homemade food items.  Everyone will receive a gift of the Red Apple’s delicious Apple Dumplings to take home.  Plus, for those interested, 30 minute hayrides will be available for only $3.00!
