I'm originally from central Illinois with stints in Wisconsin, Ohio, and a bit of time in central New Jersey, but Boston feels like home ("Love that dirty water"). I have not actively sought out Tolkien-themed events here, but they do exist. I believe the 3rd Middle-earth Conference, Part 2 will be taking place in Westford (a suburb) in 2014. There may be more, given that Boston is considered to be a fan and gamer friendly city. Plus there are bona fide Tolkien scholars here in the Commonwealth, e.g., Michael Drout at Wheaton College in Norton. Further afield, I think Wayne Hammond (of Hammond and Scull) is on the staff of Williams College out in the beautiful Berkshires.
A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. ~~ Henry David Thoreau
