Holiday gift giving can be challenging, especially
if you’re looking to find something unique
for that special person. Luckily, there’s a
new gift available that puts the decision-making
in the hands of the recipient while supporting the
region’s heritage craft businesses.
HandMade in the Northern Forest: A guide to
fine art and craft traditions in Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and New York is a new guidebook
that showcases the wide variety and high quality
of the region’s artists and craft providers.
HandMade in the Northern Forest lists
365 artisans and craftspeople, galleries, craft marketplaces,
special attractions, restaurants and historic inns,
organized into 13 driving tours throughout the four-state
Northern Forest region. Colorful maps of each route
guide tourists on their way while giving them a sense
of place. Underscoring the importance of heritage in
the Northern Forest, each chapter includes a cultural
heritage profile, sidebar articles and interesting “tidbits” about
locations along the way.
Two nonprofit organizations, the Northern Forest
Center and Businesses for the Northern Forest, published HandMade
in the Northern Forest with the support of
a region-wide steering committee. It’s available
at participating businesses, local bookstores, from
amazon.com and Enfield Publishing (603-632-7377). Visit www.HandMadeInTheNorthernForest.com for
more information.
