Private Day Trip to Lexington and Concord from Boston
Overview
Visit the real locations where the American Revolution began, while listening to hilarious yet little-known stories about our ancestors. Stand on Lexington Battle Green and listen to stories about the very first days of the war and the subsequent historical events which are still relevant to us today. Fall back in time with visits to restored houses and taverns to see how the Minutemen lived. Walk the Battle Road Trail, stage to multiple skirmishes and other "treasonous" events. Visit the Old North Bridge in Concord, where the Minutemen turned back the British Redcoats! Free time for lunch in historical Concord downtown with excellent local food options!
The second half the day includes a tour of the author in Concord. Tour the Louisa May Alcott Orchard House where Little Women was written. Visit the Sleepy Hollow cemetery's famous Author's Ridge. See Walden Pond and Thoreau's Cabin!
