Activity itinerary

Ralph Waldo Emerson House (Pass by)

Not all the landmarks in Lexington and Concord date back to the Revolutionary War. It has also been home to famous authors like Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose home still stands today.

Meriam's Corner

  • 10m
This unassuming patch of land was the site of a disastrous turn of events for the British. Multiple American militias had a clear bead on this spot and opened fire as the British passed through, inflicting heavy casualties.

The Wayside Home of Authors (Pass by)

The Wayside, built-in 1700, became home to several of these famous figures. The Alcotts bought the house in 1845, naming it Hillside. The experiences of the Alcott sisters in the home were later written into her classic Little Women.

Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House (Pass by)

This 1650 house is where Alcott wrote Little Women in 1868. At Orchard house, you can learn about Louisa May and the rest of her family, who were known for their commitments to abolition, women’s suffrage, and social reform.

Authors Ridge

  • 10m
Many famous authors lived in Concord, and several found their final resting place here in Authors Ridge. Thoreau, Alcott family members, Emerson, Nathaniel, and Sophie Hawthorne, and others are buried there.

Lexington Battle Green

  • 5m
Here in the Lexington Common is where the British fired the first shots of the battle. Little did they know they were kicking off a string of events which would lead to an embarrassing defeat here and a protracted war they would eventually lose. The tour concludes here, but there are more optional stops if you want to keep the adventure going.

Concord Museum (Pass by)

This museum’s collection explores the area’s revolutionary and literary history. If you want to learn more about the town and see some unique artefacts, be sure to stop by!

Lexington Battle Green

  • 10m
The Battles of Lexington and Concord left 73 British dead and 174 wounded. 49 Americans died and 39 were wounded. But the aftershocks of the battle went far deeper than that. The American victory was all the proof the colonists needed that they could win a war against Britain.

Samuel Hartwell House

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Just ahead on the left is what remains of the home of Ephriam and Elizabeth’s son Samuel. Samuel was a sergeant in the Lincoln Minute Men on April 19 and saw action up to and down the road. His wife Mary is said to have helped bury dead British soldiers.

Paul Revere Capture Site

  • 10m
This is the site where Paul Revere was captured during his fateful Midnight Ride. Here, you'll revisit the full storey of Revere's heroism and how his actions helped the Americans emerge victorious in Lexington and Concord.

Josiah Nelson House Site

  • 10m
At the far end of the visitor’s centre car park is a path leading to Battle Road Trail, which runs the length of Minute Man park. It follows what remains of the original Bay Road, which is the route the British took to Concord and back. It passes many historic sites.

Thoreau Cabin Site (Pass by)

Just a mile outside of town, off Walden Street, is another site of literary history -- Walden Pond. This is where Thoreau lived for two years beginning in 1845, in a cabin he built, collecting his thoughts for his 1854 classic on self-reliance, Walden, or Life in the Woods.
