Tales of New England is a celebration of all the wonderful, weird, and wild places in our region.

My name is Ophelia W. Ravenia. I’m a lifelong New Englander & a lifelong explorer. I’m the sort of person who spends my free time driving the back roads and main streets of New England (and often wandering into surrounding regions). I brake for historical markers, interesting gravestones, roadside art, and all manner of oddities. I legendtrip, explore old ruins, and visit damn near every museum I can.

Tales of New England (T.O.N.E.) is where I share my adventures with the world. This website is a hobby project, built up slowly and steadily between weekend road trips, working, and managing a busy offline life. I do my best to ensure that what I post is fact-checked (if I get something wrong, please call me out!)

I encourage you to stay curious, embrace exploration, and experience all the wonder of our beautiful corner of the world.
