April is almost here, and that means Concord’s walking tours are stepping back into action. As the weather warms and the first brave daffodils appear, it’s the perfect time to trade winter boots for comfortable walking shoes and explore the town where history practically narrates itself. From revolutionary sparks to literary legends, Concord’s streets have stories around every corner. Join a guided walk and discover the people, places, and moments that helped shape a nation. #visitconcordma #concordwalkingtours #concordhistorytour #concordhistorywalks
We have many literary tours that come to Concord to see the @alcotts_orchard_house and other attractions. Here’s a trivia question for you: How did the Orchard House get its name? A: due to the 40 apple trees located on the west and east side of the property. #visitconcordma #concordattractions #concorditinerary
