I’m spinning into Concord in my husband’s black and white striped Mini Cooper with its cool 😎 spinning dashboard. It’s not Formula 1 but we can pretend. I’m meeting Concord’s many fans 😍who love these storied streets that Thoreau once walked down (imagine?) and the coffee, antiques, food, art galleries and yes I can even pick up some hardware. See you there. Let’s meet at 58 Main Street. #visitconcordma #stillheardroundtheworld #concordvisitorcenter #concordhistory #concordactivities
It just don’t get any better than this! A day in Concord: Spend a day in Concord and you’ll quickly see why people have been wandering here for centuries. Start with a walk across the Old North Bridge, follow wooded trails once explored by Thoreau, browse the charming shops and galleries downtown, and pause for lunch in a historic tavern. By the time the afternoon sun hits the fields and riverbanks, you may realize what so many writers, revolutionaries, and thinkers discovered long ago—Concord is the kind of place where a simple day out turns into something memorable. #visitconcordma #stillheardroundtheworld #concordvisitorcenter #concordwalkingtours

From revolutionary sparks to literary legends, Concord’s streets have stories around every corner. Join a guided walk and discover the people, places, and moments that helped shape a nation. #visitconcordma #concordwalkingtours #concordhistorytour #concordhistorywalks
We have many literary tours that come to Concord to see the @alcotts_orchard_house and other attractions. Here’s a trivia question for you: How did the Orchard House get its name? A: due to the 40 apple trees located on the west and east side of the property. #visitconcordma #concordattractions #concorditinerary
