Believe it or not, New England is home to numerous ghost towns long abandoned, but filled with mystery, unexpected beauty, and a sense that these locations are simply biding their time, waiting for people to return. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaryn Plumb explores dozens of locations in the region, revealing the surprising histories of the towns and the reasons they were abandoned. In Maine, sites include Flagstaff, whose citizens were forced out to make way for a dam and which now sits at the bottom of Flagstaff Lake; Riceville, wiped out by cholera; and Perkins Township, which was abandoned so suddenly the remaining houses are still filled with furnishings. Locations in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are also covered in this unique and fascinating tour.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaryn Plumb is a freelance writer and former \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe \u003c\/i\u003ecorrespondent whose topics have ranged from ghosts and goblins to the intricacies of finance (which subject frightens you more?).
