Founded in 1635, Concord is one of the oldest towns in New England and a pivotal site in the Revolutionary War. Nestled near Boston, this historic town was also a hub for literary giants during the mid-1800s, including Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Louisa May Alcott. Visitors today can explore the well-preserved homes and sites that once inspired these authors, as well as the battlefields and landmarks that played a crucial role in American history.
