Things to do in Concord, Massachusetts

Just 25 miles northwest of Boston, Concord is the quintessential New England town. From our ideal location on the Sudbury River with its rolling meadows and abundance of wildlife, there’s so much to see, so much to enjoy and all just minutes from your door.

To live in Concord is to live American history. It’s rich in Native American ancestry, loaded with Colonial and Revolutionary War landmarks, and home to literary icons, such as Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau and his inspiring Walden Pond.

But as much as you can stroll through the past, you can step into the modern era at some of the finest restaurants in Massachusetts and a delicious blend of locally owned eateries, bakeries, and wine and cheese shops.

You’ll also enjoy a vibrant cultural and performing arts scene and plenty of shopping from high-end retailers to charming downtown boutiques, antique shops and galleries. And if you’re an outdoor enthusiast, there’s plenty of lush, scenic walking and bike trails, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and cross-country skiing.

Every day of the year, beautiful Concord has it all.
