Calling all minute men

A picturesque area replete with forests, rivers, and ponds, Concord is well known for its rich history and thriving modern environment. The city holds fast to a revolutionary memory, both as the site of the first battle of the Revolutionary War and the home of seminal literary figures across the ages, like Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott and Doris Kearns Goodwin. Today, the city still looks like a quaint New England colony, with much of that era's architecture on display throughout the town, whether upon remodeled structures serving as businesses or carefully preserved colonial-era homes. Concord offers residents searching for easy access to nature and a connection to American history an appealing place to call home.

Into the woods

Concord's forested landscape lends itself to quiet parks and natural areas, oftentimes located near bodies of water. Emerson Playground offers sports courts and fields, along with a track for athletes to work on their foot speed. Elsewhere, deeper in the natural areas that envelop the city, residents can visit Walden Pond State Reservation, home to the Thoreau cabin site, where Henry David Thoreau wrote Walden, his most well-known and influential book. Residents who want to go back inside can head to the Beede Swim and Fitness Center, which offers visitors the opportunity to use exercise equipment and a pool and take advantage of the fitness center's calendar of events and classes.
