Natick shopping Mall裏的迴轉壽司店
1716年經營至今的The Colonial Inn就在歷史小鎮Concord的市中心，56間住宿旅館裡還保留了16間古蹟維護的客房和餐廳，位於48 Monument Square, Concord,MA 01742
Concord以打響first shot第一槍American Revolution美國獨立戰爭的誕生地，當時北美英軍總司令Thomas Gage奉命前往Concord收繳軍火，居住Boston城內的Paul Revere得知消息後，披星戴月從Boston快馬加鞭前往⻄北邊約20公里的Concord，一路高喊"the shot heard' round the world"， 趕到Lexington通知了大家英軍偷襲之事，使兩地⺠兵有所準備。英軍於黎明時進兵，但一路軍紀混亂，又在Lexington遭到民兵偷襲，好不容易趕到Concord的軍火儲存處，軍火早已被⺠兵轉移。英軍陣腳大亂，狼狽地退出Concord，回返Boston途中一路遭到⺠兵突襲，英軍在Boston被圍因而棄城而逃。身處當時烏合之眾的民兵，力抗英軍的美國獨立戰役戰場Minuteman National Historical Park有名的Battle Road和Old North Bridge。
Concord Museum還保存了Revere lantern，也有文學家Ralph Waldo Emerson's study,Henry Thoreau's Walden desk，還可欣賞American decorative arts等。
不遠處的Walden Pond是文學作家Thoreau梭羅寫下了湖濱散記，夏季是居民戲水垂釣和秋楓散步的去處，還有一間小禮品店915 Walden St, Concord，對我們來說這些都是我們曾經居住和孩子們上學熟悉的地方。

Day 9 : Saturday 7/20/13 麻省理工學院 MIT
