Publisher: Home | 60 Fun Things to Do Within 60 Miles

About Connie Herrera, creator and publisher Connie Herrera currently lives in Rochester, New York — by way of California, Germany, Massachusetts, and New York again. Travel is her passion, and she’s visited 44 states and 19 foreign countries. “I grew up in the town of White Plains, NY, just outside New York City. Almost every week we drove past the historic inn that was Washington’s Headquarters at the Battle of White Plains. I was always intrigued by the chimney, which had a large stone carved into a half moon and set into the stones. When I moved to Boston after college, I realized that although I had been to practically every museum in New York City, I had never been inside Washington’s Headquarters, a site that was just around the corner. That began my mission that wherever I lived, I would not miss the places and history that were right in front of me.” In addition to creating this series, Connie has lectured on local tourism and is currently director of marketing communications at Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y. Rosanne M. Rivers, contributing writer Rosanne has many years of experience writing for the arts, health care, and business. Her clients have included the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Monroe Community College, the Eastman School of Music, Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Eastman Kodak Company. She lives in Rochester, N.Y. with her young son who particularly enjoyed helping with her research for this book!
