The obelisk on Monument square honors the brave men of Concord who fought for the Union. Maybe you drive or walk past this every day but don’t know much about it. But Concord has many ties to the Civil War. One soldier is documented as saying, “when the order came for me to join my unit… I was plowing in the same field in Concord where my grandfather was plowing when the British fired on the Massachusetts men in Lexington. He did not hesitate a moment and I did not, sir.”

Henry David Thoreau mused, “October is its sunset sky… October is the month of painted leaves.” And twilight in October can be magical… it is when earth’s atmosphere scatters the suns rays to create the colors of twilight and you can experience the transition from light to dark and the sounds of nature changing. We have cemetery twilight tours every Friday and Saturday at 4 pm except Oct. 26. Advance registration required.
