As for Ben & Jerry's, I wasn't impressed. People tell me it used to be better a few years back before it was bought from the original owners. Also, the tour, if I remember correctly, involved a lot of stairs.
Just MHO.

Really depends on where you cross over into NH. If coming across 89 into NH there's an awesome quilt store in Henniker, Quilted Threads.
If you go to the NH state website, you can look by region there and there is tons of stuff to see here. :-D

Ditto on the Boston traffic. It can be hairy! even for a seasoned driver. We live near Boston and would strongly advise using the "T" which can take you around Boston with many stops along the way. You could also do the Trolley or the "Duck Tour" which stop at many great spots. You can get on and off as many times as you want. You can then gauge how long it might take to walk to the next stop of just do a short walk and return to the spot where you got off. PM me with questions.
Also: Fourth of July is going to be very crowded so get in town early. Most of all enjoy the area.
Keepsake Quilting in NH has to be one of your stops and there are great chairs outside the shop for DH :)

Just a word to the wise about Boston.........Unless things have changed since we visited, traffic is a little crazy. It's a wonderful place with lot's to see and do but it's not easy to dr
