Event Description

Outdoor Display and Photo Ops: Concord Authors' Revolutionary War Ancestors

At your own pace and time, walk through Barrow Bookstore's outdoor display and into the dramatic world of the fighting Revolutionary War ancestors of famed Concord authors such as Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and more. From Patriot foot soldiers running to the cause, to privateers plundering the king's ships on the sea, to ministers thundering "freedom" from the pulpit, a potential Loyalist spy, and a future president walking a miserable path over the mountains to seek aid from France, dramatic tales and photo ops await!

    Cider Donuts & Pumpkin Patches: Autumnal Rites of Passage in New England

    Painted Leaves

    “October is the month for painted leaves,” Henry Thoreau wrote in 1860. “Their rich glow now flashes round the world.” And while it’s true that other parts of the world experience autumnal tints every year, they seem to be brighter and more vivid in New England.
