Just a short walk away, you'll find the historic North Bridge, where the first shot of the American Revolution, “the shot heard ‘round the world,” was fired, as well as Author’s Ridge in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where you can leave a pencil at the graves of Concord’s renowned literary figures, including Louisa May Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Other significant sites to explore on foot or bicycle include Battle Road Trail, a five-mile trail marking the path of the British troops to Concord on April 19, 1775, and Walden Pond State Reservation, best known for inspiring Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and serving as a favorite walking place for Thoreau and fellow Concord transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson.

For those intrigued by the supernatural, some guests report that certain rooms in the Inn are haunted. In fact, in 2024, Concord’s Colonial Inn made the Historic Hotels of America Top 25 Most Haunted Hotels list.
