Established in 1635, Concord is picturesque New England town brimming with Colonial-era charm about 20 miles northwest of Boston. Concord is a top choice for families, with award-winning schools, convenient access to the MBTA Commuter Rail, and a vibrant downtown shopping district.
Concord is also a favorite amongst history buffs and literary enthusiasts. The American Revolutionary War started in Concord, when the “shot heard round the world” was fired from North Bridge. Minute Man National Historical Park, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Concord Museum provide insight to various aspects of a storied past as well.
Writers Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson and Louisa Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne all lived and wrote in Concord. The houses of these famous literary figures are all available for tours, including the Old Manse, Orchard House, and Thoreau’s Cabin Site on Walden Pond.
Walden Pond State Reservation contains many hiking trails and abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation in Concord to this day. Concord is also home to plenty of lush parks, family-owned farms, and the Concord and Assabet Rivers.
