Concord History
Concord’s historical sites include the Orchard House, Louisa May Alcott’s home as described in Little Women, the Old Manse, which Nathaniel Hawthorne lived in, The Wayside, another home to several eminent Concordians, and Walden Pond, where Henry David Thoreau went into his famous retreat and wrote his philosophical work, Walden. Another famous Concord resident was Ralph Waldo Emerson, the nineteenth-century essayist, Unitarian minister and founder of the Transcendentalism movement, a spiritual philosophy. The Sleepy Hollow Cemetery near the town center contains an Author’s Ridge, where these and other Concord writers are buried. The convergence of authors and thinkers in Concord made it something of an intellectual hub in its time, and contemporary writers and artists continue to live there today.

The Concord public schools are of a consistently high quality, with very strong students and exceptional faculty. The Concord Free Public Library was founded in 1873, with a main library in Concord center and the Fowler Branch Library in West Concord. The Library hosts poetry readings, Friday night movies, craft workshops for teens, holiday celebrations and story times and sing-a-longs for younger children. Concord was first settled in 1635 and was incorporated as a town in the same year. Its population in the early years included indigenous Algonquins, and among the colonists, craftsmen, farmers, and Puritans. The Old North Bridge, the site of an important battle in the American Revolution, is part of Minuteman National Park, a popular destination for walking and enjoying the outdoors. The Concord Museum, on Lexington Road, was founded in 1850, with a significant collection of early Americana, including the famous “One if by land, two if by sea” lantern immortalized in Longfellow’s poem about the Paul Revere ride.
