✍️ A Personal NoteWhile I was living in New York City, I had a coworker who commuted nearly 90 minutes each way to work at Tavern on the Green in Central Park.When I asked why anyone would spend so much time traveling every day, his answer was simple:“Because when I wake up in the morning, I can see deer in my backyard.”That answer has always stayed with me. It captures something essential about New England: the quiet beauty of forests, small towns, changing seasons, and a close connection to nature that still shapes everyday life.At the same time, New England is deeply woven into the early history of the United States, from colonial settlements to events like the Boston Tea Party and the beginnings of the American Revolution.Some of those impressions and stories inspired many of the questions in this quiz.— Nicco Schaal
