Group Bus Tours

The Town of Concord offers tours to fit every group’s needs. Whether you live local or are visiting us from another region, we welcome you to experience Concord with a tour led by one of our certified guides. Small group, private and bus tours are available year round.  Tours can focus on Revolutionary History, Literary History, Little Women, cemeteries and more.

Walking Tours

Walking tours depart the Concord Visitor Center at 1:00P, daily. The 75 minute experience will introduce guests to the Downtown Concord area and will touch on Concord’s rich Revolutionary and Literary history while visiting sites such as The Milldam, Monument Square, The Old Hill Burial Ground and more.

From last night’s MeetBoston gathering at the Boch Center, Yvonne Hao, Secretary of Economic Development tells the audience, “I can’t tell you how annoying it was to be with my counterparts from Virginia and Pennsylvania and hear them say “oh yeah we founded the country in our state.” Really? I don’t think so, people.The tea was thrown in the water here. The first shot was heard around the world here. 
We have a moment coming up in 2025 to tell our story to the whole world.”
Amen!

We only have a few spaces left for tomorrow’s Indigenous People of Concord Tour at 2 pm - learning about those who came before us is a perfect activity after the Thanksgiving feast. While we ate turkey yesterday, Concord’s first residents also ate deer, muskrat, salmon, eel and a variety of nuts, fruits and berries. Freshwater mussels were a favorite food, as we know from the vast number of shells found near Emerson Hospital. Sign up at VisitConcord.org walking tours. Your young student is welcome to come learn more.
