Backroads & Revolution: Nashville to Boston

A journey through the heart of American history and scenic backroads, avoiding major interstates in favor of the charm of the East Coast.


Route: Nashville → Asheville → Luray → Harpers Ferry → Rhinebeck → Salem → Boston

I've mapped out a route that trades the bland interstates for the winding backroads of the Appalachians and the historic corridors of the Northeast. We’re heading through the heart of the Blue Ridge and the Hudson Valley before diving deep into the history of Salem and Boston.

Money Savers
  • Book your Salem museum tickets at least 2 weeks in advance; they sell out fast, especially in the fall.
Heads Up

Skip the I-95 corridor at all costs; the tolls and traffic will ruin the "road trip" feel.

Route 7 through Connecticut and New York is much prettier.
