  • Really need insight into the beginning of this country. So glad we made the effort to stop and Concord is a nice little town to drive through
  • Very nice place showing Our Revolutionary War and Colonial Life of the times!!! The Original Hamsters all up and down this place.
  • Went here in 2008 and still it is one of my favourite battlefields. Well preserved and very pretty. It is a very important place in US history, marking the first battle of the Revolutionary War.
  • Quaint and fun for educational purposes. Informationals are setup throughout the walking path that talking about American history related to this park. Beautiful sights too
  • Amazing place for a quick getaway from Boston, quite a lot of history involved in this place. During the winters the lake freezes making it fun to walk over it. It has free parking from morning till sun down.
