New England is full of iconic travel experiences and Conde Nast Traveler recently highlighted the people who bring six of them to life.

In the article 50 states, 50 people, the publication honors the workers making a difference in the tourism industry by spearheading state-defining travel experiences in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

“We hope that the next time you travel across America, you’ll feel inspired to peer behind the scenes—and say hello to the people who make your favorite journeys unforgettable,” wrote Conde Nast Traveler.

In Massachusetts, Michael Lepage has been portraying Paul Revere for three decades. The historical re-enactor (who is is retiring this summer) told the publication, “I love all the interactions with an audience. Especially seeing kids engaged and asking questions, knowing they’ll carry this forward—that warms my heart.”

Rhode Island is famous for its Gilded Age mansions and Patricia Miller, chief conservator at the Preservation Society of Newport County since 2015, is their protector. “Just about everything that you see in these homes is under our purview,” she told CNT about the 10 properties that make up the Newport Mansions. She has even assisted HBO’s production team with sets during filming of “The Gilded Age.”

During fall in New Hampshire, the focus is on leaf peeping and Jim Salge, former meteorologist at Mount Washington Observatory and longtime foliage reporter for Yankee Magazine, is known for his foliage predictions. He studies the forests many months ahead of time, and told CNT, “It’s really important to get the timing right, especially when people fly in from all over to see it.”

Folks who eat at Abel’s Lobster on Mount Desert Island in Maine will find 64-year-old Tammy Hustus, who calls herself “the mastah lobstah pickah.” She separates the meat from the shell while chatting with customers and handled more than 16,000 lobsters last season. “I have hands of steel, I think,” she told CNT.

Vermont is world-famous for skiing and Matt Folts, head snowmaker at Bromley Mountain Resort, works 12-hour workdays making the snow. “Eighty percent of our terrain has artificial snowmaking or man-made snow on it,” he told CNT. “If we don’t make snow, the ski areas cannot open. It’s [Vermont’s] largest industry, so obviously it’s what keeps us alive.”

Connecticut is all about pizza and Bill Pustari, owner of New Haven’s Modern Apizza (ranked No. 1 on the Connecticut Pizza Trail), told the publication, “We’ve always been where the locals go. [Now] we actually have customers who fly up from the Carolinas just to do a pizza tour—they land in the morning, go Uber around to all the pizza places, then get back on the airplane.”
