This book takes readers on a self-guided tour of the oldest neighborhood in Concord, Massachusetts. The walk includes centuries-old houses and shops. The text gives information about the people who lived here and their activities. Full-color pages include paintings by two important local painters, photos of antique homes and business, and two-hundred-year-old newspaper advertisements for shops and industries. We learn about the spinster sisters and their famous cousin, and the man who successfully resisted arrest by federal marshals with the help of a mob of his neighbors.
