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.
