Concord
is located in eastern Massachusetts, about 18 miles north of Boston and 34 miles northeast of Worcester. It's an old, historic town known for its' role in American history and literature. First settled in 1635, Concord was the site of the initial conflict of the American Revolutionary War (the Battle of Lexington and Concord.) Concord is situated at the junction of the Concord/Sudbury/Assabet Rivers, and was settled by the English as a frontier outpost of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was the first interior, non-tidal water town in Massachusetts. This beautiful little community still retains many well preserved Colonial houses, nine of them on or near the Concord green where they stood during the famous Battle of Concord. Another one of the well-preserved sites in town is the Victorian Gothic state prison that was built in 1878 and still houses prisoners. Concord also has a remarkable literary history. Louisa May Alcott's houses, The Orchard House and The Wayside are now museums, Nathaniel Hawthorne lived at The Old Manse and The Wayside, and Henry David Thoreau lived in a small cabin on Walden Pond in Concord, where he wrote his famous book "Walden." Philosopher/writer Ralph Waldo Emerson also lived at several homes in town. Many notables of the community are buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Other attractions in Concord include the Concord Museum and the Minute Man National Historic Park. A Visitor Center is located at 58 Main Street.
