(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/activetravels/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Thanks to Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the historic hamlet of Concord, Massachusetts, 20 miles west of Boston, has achieved legendary stature as a literary outpost. After all, it was here that Thoreau ventured to the woods with ax in tow in March 1845 to build his hut on Walden Pond<\/a>. The town where Alcott grew up with her sisters in the Orchard House<\/a>, which remarkably still stands today and was the backdrop for the latest version of Little Women<\/em> in 2019. Also still standing on the banks of the Concord River is the circa-1770 Old Manse<\/a>, where Emerson wrote his integral work, Nature<\/em>, in the upstairs study, and the young Nathaniel Hawthorne brought his bride Sophia to live for 3 years. It happens to reside next door to Minute Man National Historic Park<\/a>, where the Revolutionary War started as a result of the \u201cshot heard round the world.\u201d<\/p>\n With such a rich literary history, it\u2019s no surprise that the founder of Literary Traveler, Francis McGovern, has chosen Concord for his inaugural trip, October 21-24, 2021<\/a>. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that Francis lives in Concord and knows the area intimately! Over the course of three days, you\u2019ll visit all the important sights with Francis and other experts who specialize on the works of these renowned 19th-century scribes. Cost is $2495 per person double occupancy and includes three nights lodging at Concord\u2019s Colonial Inn and dining at such esteemed local restaurants as Woods Hill Table<\/a>, which Yankee Magazine<\/em> recognized as the top farm-to-table restaurant in New England. ActiveTravels<\/a> is happy to join forces with Literary Traveler<\/a> to make all the bookings and provide any assistance to and from the region. We\u2019re excited that Literary Traveler has started to design trips around the globe and this is the perfect start!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks to Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the historic hamlet of Concord, Massachusetts, 20 miles west of Boston, has achieved legendary stature as a literary outpost.
