While many long for summer to last as long as possible, I am a true lover of all things
autumnal. Yes, I'll miss fresh local corn, dancing fireflies and the late-night frog chorus. But
there really is nothing like the cool, crisp air on a misty autumn morning, the sun glistening
through the trees as they reflect a kaleidoscope of fall color.
America’s East Coast provides a unique autumn experience. Northern states begin their
vibrant display of color, while more southerly destinations provide an opportunity to
extend that summer feeling.
In this issue we explore some East Coast towns who's rich histories and occasional sightings
of ghostly apparitions, put them on our don't miss travel list. Toss in an entire town that
smells of chocolate, a Civil War city bursting with distilleries and a couple who's creative
carving of gourds results in one-of-a-kind lighting for your home and that my friends, is
what I like to call "my new favorite issue."

months of the year offering uncrowded beaches and warm, sunny weather.
P.S. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the shuttering of Eastern Home & Travel Magazine.
We have loved scouring the East Coast and bringing everything we love about it to your home
for all of these years and will dearly miss it. Thank you for your loyal readership and support!
