Its location 30 miles northwest of Boston offers unsurpassed enrichment of every type, including fine arts, dining, historical sites, and of course sports Just north of Lowell, the grandeur of New Hampshire's White Mountains unfolds not far from the rugged shoreline of Maine and the storied ski lodges of Vermont.
