    It's rather silly to list this separately from Walden Pond since this replica is right next to the main parking lot of the Visitor's Center. Of course it's worth a look and a quick photo stop.

    This is a small replica of Thoreau’s cabin on Walden’s pond. It was interesting to see the small unassuming living environment where Thoreau’s greatest works were created.
