Bringing History to Life

Concord holds a revered place in American history as the site of the American Revolution. By the mid-nineteenth century, Concord developed into a remarkably rich literary reputation through the published works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry David Thoreau, all whose homes are preserved in modern-day Concord. Concord welcomes thousands of people per year flocking to our town to celebrate its rich American and literary history. Every year on Patriots Day, there are fascinating and exciting reenactments and events culminating in a festive parade through town. Concord really brings the history alive and is a wonderful place to visit at any age.

What people don't know about Concord is its rich agricultural history. The town has worked hard to preserve the pastoral nature of its landscape boasting large areas of national park land and spaces conserved by the town. Because farming and conservation has been a priority, this has fostered a burgeoning organic farm-to-table movement food in Concord and world-renowned chefs have made Concord home. In September, you will find Main Street closed down for a farmers market where all the local farmers come and share their food and goods. It creates a wonderful sense of community and shared purpose for the residents and guests of Concord. On any day in the spring, summer and fall, you can go to a local farm stand (there are many) and enjoy beautiful, fresh produce, honey and fruit. It really embodies the adage “know your farmer.’ Stop by the famous Concord Cheese Shop first, then pop to a farm stand and you can make a ‘local foods’ picnic you can enjoy at one of the many scenic spots in town.
