The Shot Heard Round the World

Founded in 1635, Concord will forever hold the distinction as a starting point of the American Revolution. On April 19, 1775, colonists faced British soldiers at the Old North Bridge, and the Battle of Lexington and Concord began the American Revolution. Visitors today can still cross the Old North Bridge and walk through the Colonial-era landscape preserved within the Minuteman National Park. The Concord Museum showcases Concord's rich history.

A Literary Hotbed

Concord is equally renowned for its contributions to literary history and intellectual thought. Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables); Louisa May Alcott (Little Women); and the Transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and Henry David Thoreau all lived and wrote in Concord. Hawthorne's home The Wayside, the Alcott's home, Orchard House and Emerson's Old Manse are all open to the public.

Additionally, Thoreau is today revered as the pioneer of the environmental movement for his book Walden. Concord residents and visitors from around the world continue to visit the shores of Concord's Walden Pond and the surrounding Walden Woods.
