Okay....Is this in New England ?
I envy you. I always had the desire to be like Patrick Fermor and just walk across Europe seeing the sights from one end to the other.
And most importantly, I would visit all the important and major battle sites along the way. So much history...I wish I could visit Agincourt myself, or Crecy, Poitiers, Ulm, Austerlitz, Waterloo, Fuentes de Onoro, Talevera, Vitoria, Blenheim, the beaches of Normandy, the Somme, Verdun, the Ardennes, and so forth. It'd probably take me years to properly visit them all.
