Things To Do & Food
Walden Pond State Reservation
Walden Pond is a national historic landmark where author Henry David Thoreau lived for nearly three years. Here he was inspired to write 'Walden,' a parable about living ethically and deliberately. Thoreau's writings inspire respect for nature and conservation.
Concord Museum
The museum's sixteen galleries are focused on Concord's Native American, literary, abolitionist, cultural and revolutionary history. It contains artifacts from the Revolutionary War and environmentalist authors Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
Historic Old North Bridge
Over the Concord River, this historic bridge is the site of “the shot heard ‘round the world" and the start of the American Revolution.
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
Where members of the Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, and Alcott families are buried among many other figures in history.
Hutchins Farm
This special farm belongs to Rob's stepdad. It is certified organic since the 1970s and it is where we took our engagement photos!
Bandoleros Mexican Grill
One of Melissa & Rob's favorite local restaurants - delicious, fresh, and fast! Kitchen and bar are open until 10:00pm!
Karma Asian Fusion
Open until 10:00pm for drinks and quality Asian fare.
The Liberty Restaurant at Concord's Colonial Inn
Built in 1716 and rich with history, the Colonial Inn welcomes you for authentic ambiance in Monument Square and offers a mouth watering menu featuring casual meals, al fresco dining, and a historic Tavern.
Debra's Natural Gourmet
Melissa & Rob went to Debra's at the end of their first date and continue to shop here weekly - their love blossomed in this crunchy grocery store!

Brick oven, thin crust, big slices! Rivals New London, across the street.
Concord New London Style Pizza
Greek style, deep dish pizza! Rivals Sorrento's, across the street.
Kimball Farm Westford
In addition to being the home of the best, local farm fresh ice cream in 50 flavors, this Kimball's location includes mini golf, bumper boats, a driving range, batting cages and more!
Kimball Farm Carlisle
A little closer to Concord than Westford, you can find Kimball's fifty flavors of ice cream and friendly goats here.
Bedford Farms Ice Cream
Nearer to the Residence Inn than Kimball's and a close second favorite of Melissa & Rob's.
