Excursion 68, a plan to promote tourist sights, aims to incorporate the Dartmouth College Library and New Hampshire as part of a single attraction tour. The tour, which is designed for excursionists interested in architecture and the arts, runs along 50 miles of U.S. Interstate 68. Currently, New Hampshire offers multi-site Golden Pond and Robert Frost Tours. The Frost tour takes explorers along a trail marked with well-known places in his poems, including his farmhouse and the College library, to view Frost's papers. Bill Egan, a resident of Canterbury, N.H., and a frequent visitor of Frost's farm, believes that a limited number of people will take advantage of the tour initially, but, in time, the numbers will rise. "I'm imagining it will grow. It has to be in large part people that have an understanding of Frost," Egan said. This summer, Excursion 68 plans to launch a website and may also advertise through brochures and billboards. "When they pool their resources they can have a major-league website and they can be competitive," said Allen Kay, spokesman for the Travel Industry Association of America.
