Concord's Colonial Inn has seen its fair share of history. The oldest building on the property was built in 1716. During the Revolutionary War, the inn was used to store arms and provisions. Later, in the 1830s, Henry David Thoreau lived in the inn while he attended Harvard.
From 1889 on, Concord's Colonial Inn has operated similarly to how it does today. Plus, its location also has plenty to offer when it comes to history. The inn is located near Minute Man National Historical Park and Walden Pond State Reservation.
