Concord is located approximately 25 miles northwest of Boston. The town is steeped in military, social, literary and natural history. The first shots of the American War of Independence rang out on a bridge in the town. There were places of refuge for runaway slaves in Concord, and the progress of freed men and women is documented here. There were five authors who were almost contemporaries and the way in which their lives were intertwined is recorded in various museums and places of historical interest. Even the Concord River and Walden Pond are famous.
