New England Day Tours

New England  ~ A Romantic Vision for Everyone!

A symphony of colors in Autumn. Old mills reflected in crystal clear water. The aroma of artisanal breads baking. And… the attraction to this woody, hilly land of independent characters of stellar talent!
   Thus, was the inspiration for "Creative Genius at Home" day tours. We have combined beautiful settings, private visits with these remarkable people, as well as the finest regional cuisine prepared by world-renown, international and local chefs. The experience is, indeed, memorable!
 

"Creative Genius at Home" Tour
with wood sculptor, Jonathan Brooks

For the 3rd year now, this tour has astounded friends as they explored the woods, sculpture park, house of curves, and studio of Jon Brooks and Jami Boyle!  Three hills in NH culminating in a leisurely and delicious visit  forms our perfect day in the country! Fairyland? Utopia? Art and Soul at this home in the woods? Meet Jami at home and Jonathan in the studio for stories beyond belief! See works in progress for the latest museum or patron piece!

The Art of Freedom, The Freedom of Art
Cost: $1450.00

This Creative Genius Tour is endless with extra-ordinary events! Besides experiencing one of the world's greatest contempory glass collections, you will meet the founder of the museum, Irv Borowsky, who works non-stop to bring Peace into the world!  (He helped to rewrite the Bible with the Vatican to eliminate all bigoted expressions and that version is already circulating!)

We will also have the honor of a private tour of The Wharton Esherick House, a treehouse located on a hilltop above Valley Forge! The handsculpted home is breathtaking and the engineering skill of this 20th century art icon is remarkable!

No doubt you have heard of the Philadelphia Renaissance? We will meander through the neighborhood of glass and ceramic mosaics created by Isaiah Zagar! A visit in his garden is a must!!

And, of course, lovely lodgings overlooking the park and one of our dinners is enjoyed aboard an exquisite sailboat, The Mosholu!
