See Some History
It would be challenging to walk around Concord and not see history. The buildings and streets of downtown Concord are a community steeped in tradition, yet well-adapted to change. Concord’s European settlers laid out Main Street in 1726. Farmhouses on modest house lots, soon joined by a few small shops, lined the street; eld lots lay in the Merrimack River plain below. In 1803 the First New Hampshire Turnpike opened, linking Concord with Portsmouth cementing the town’s position as an important trading and transportation center. Scores of stagecoaches, wagons and animals traveled down Main Street daily, headed to Boston or Portsmouth. Take the dog and take this tour.
Go Shopping

Hiking
Concord has more than 80 miles of city hiking trails and a variety of terrain, including flat walking trails to more challenging slopes with changes in elevation. The trails cross lands that also preserve open space, natural resources, and wildlife habitats. Several miles of the trails cross private land where property owners have generously granted permission for the City to maintain these trails, so guests are asked to access the marked trails only. The trails are maintained by the City’s consultant forester and many volunteers, who work to make sure they are accessible, safe, and well-marked. And, don’t miss the Terrill Park Dog Park, for some networking.
