Outdoor Destinations & Country Inns

Tuesday May 12, 7pm 

The Bridgewater Public Library will host Michael J. Tougias and Alison O'Leary. They will give a power point presentation about their favorite outdoor destinations and country inns located in Vermont, New Hampshire and the Berkshires.

Tougias and O'Leary are the authors of Inns and Adventures of Vermont, New Hampshire and the Berkshires: A History and Explorers Guide.

            Adventures include such activities as white-water kayaking, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, hidden swimming spots and the thrill of discovering lesser-known countryside. "We love finding new, hard to find spots and sharing them with people who have an appreciation of the outdoor world," says Tougias. "And for history buffs, we also weave in unusual events from the regions you will be exploring, with several stops for roadside history." Visit: www.michaeltougias.com for more information.
