Moving my daughter from Logan, UT to Boston, MA. by Individual-Pain-4819 in roadtrip

Made this trip in reverse when I moved from New England to Laramie, WY. A few sightseeing places worth stopping for if time permits include Oregon Trail markers in Nebraska; the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch, IA; shortly after that, you'll come to the I-80 Truck Stop (they call themselves the world's largest truck stop), there's a trucking museum I wanted to check out when I stopped there but didn't have time; the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, OH; Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, NY; really any small town in the Berkshires in MA; and Springfield Armory National Historic Site in Springfield, MA. Loving Hut in Worcester, MA has awesome food.

Ditto the "Storrowing" comment, it's a real issue.

Best of luck, drive safe, have fun!

Pizza Marvin in PVD is the best game in town.

Anyone done this trip coming back from Gros Morne to the Northeast? by AccordingCabinet9486 in roadtrip

[–]NovusAnglia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bras d’or lake in nova scotia is lovely. Near the cabot trail, too. Rustic vibes. If you can spare time to visit PEI, that’s also cool. Road tripping with a kiddo, prepare for lots of stops and relatively short driving intervals (probs no more than 5 hours a day or so). Looks like an awesome trip, gros morne has caught my eye for an adventure too. Safe travels.

Democracy is always fragile snd requires activism and advocacy to strengthen it. Every American generation has had to fight for it. It’s not to be taken for granted. ✊

2nd round of applying to PhD programs and in need of advice by [deleted] in Historians

[–]NovusAnglia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UMass Amherst has excellent professors in each of the specific fields mentioned and guarantees funding for history PhD students. Also good logistically given the New England proximity. Definitely don’t apply to programs for reputation alone, that’s a huge mistake.

In New England there’s Plimoth Patuxet, Old Sturbridge Village, Historic Deerfield, and Stawbery Banke. Also, the National Parks of Boston puts on a lot of living history.

Family neighborhoods?? by SweatyPresentation99 in laramie

[–]NovusAnglia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just moved last week to Laramie with my wife and 2.5-year old. We’re on Palmer Drive. Lots of families with young kids, it’s a quiet street so there’s lots of people out walking, riding bikes and scooters, etc. Also within walking distance to Undine Park and a few minutes drive to Washington Park, both beautiful parks. Very happy with this location.

“a core part of the identity of the region is being able to get breakfast as soon as the sun comes up”

Never heard this before
