10 reasons to take a walking tour of Concord with Gatepost Tours



Don't let Henry's somber face fool you.
This man had a serious sense of humor!

1. We can cover 10,000 years of history in 90 minutes without even breaking a sweat. Don't worry though, you'll mostly only hear about 375 of them.

2. Learning some historic stuff is a great way to impress your friends at parties.

3. We promise you'll never be able to look at Henry David Thoreau in quite the same way ever again.

4. Gatepost tour-guides like to laugh. A lot.

5. A very old graveyard is an excellent place from which to learn about spies and drunk people. 



Perhaps Lieutenant Colonel Smith should be inspecting the
troops rather than the inside of Major Pitcairn's right ear.

6. You'd like to take in some important historic sites while you're here, but have no idea where to start.

7. You'll get a free tote bag. Seriously. It's red.

8. Walking the same ground as Hawthorne, Alcott, Thoreau and Emerson is just so cool.

9. You've always wondered what Concord has to do with George W. Bush. Doesn't everyone?


But by far, the most important reason you should come on our walking tour is that....

10. You'll love how wicked fun it is to learn about Concord! (And to use the word "wicked" like a prah-pah New England-ah)

Happy travels and we look forward to seeing you in Concord soon!
