The main events are already mentioned- depends what you like. Trains? Guns? Ships? Farm stuff? Sports? How far off 90 would you go? This is stuff I saw over the years just off the exits.
Kodak in Rochester, a couple Eire canal spots, am indian/religious themed site -Kateri Kataweta? a 'martered' Mohawk girl, near Fonda?
A unexpectedly cool New York State museum in Rockafeller plaza Albany, a WW2 distroyer escort downhill from there, actually under the highway. Used to have Henry Hudson's 'Half Moon' there, no longer I guess. Shaker stuff into western Mass- Joseph Conrad's home- he wrote Moby Dick, Savage Arms museum in Westfield. 500 yards off exit 3! The basketball hall of fame in Springfield, volleyball one in Holyoke, kinda in the ghettos tho, hey Springfield armory muesum, Doctor Suess stuff a block down the hill from the armory. Rolls Royce, Indian motorcylce collection and a GeeBee racing plane in the same building. Smith and Wesson shops, kind of a rip off unless you are into brand names on your polo shirts.... Yes! then the Sturbridge museum an hour? east, kinda really cool. Then you are in Revolutionary country, Lexington, Concord, the 'marathon route. How the British army could walk back that 26 miles while being shot at the whole time.. wow. But than is a bit north of 90 itself. The north church and long walk 'freedom trail' in downtown Boston, but you are there for a look round right? Bunkerhill and old ironsides are northeast of downtown, but there are watertaxis and army ducks tours- which are cool, so you just leave your car in one spot for the day. Kids into colleges? Harvard and MIT are a walk across a bride. X made me go into 'cheers! Bull and finch'? pub. Impossible to park near it, a wait to get a table... I was miserable at first.. but turned out kinda cool. Nice fish and chips. Buy a beer, they give you a boxed and padded glass. Kinda glad she made me do it! Always getting drug to Chinatown, but unless you are into gaudy decoration and extremely fresh fish...ugly squrming fish... East of there? Water. But, north is Salem and Glouster, but traffic might be thick. South is Plymouth rock, might as well go there. There was the Edaville railroad and cranberry bog tours, don't know if that is all still there. Cripe, go home southerly via 95, on and off- and see Mystic seaport, coast guard academy, sub base and Nautalus. Rout 1 is OK. But still in southeastern Mass is the USS Mass and Young, forgot the name of the sub and PT boat... up the hill from them is Lizzie Borden's house...used to go out with a chick like that... If you are patient with traffic, go into Newport, see how the other half lives. hey, if in Rhode Island, go to Quahog and meet up with Peter Griffin, Quagmire and Shamus... you'll have a great time!

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
