The town still retains many well-preserved colonial houses, nine of them on or near the village green and witnesses of the famous Battle of Concord. Just 20 minutes' drive from Boston, the town boasts gorgeous natural and man-made scenery, a bounty of cultural and historic attractions, and some of the best public schools in the state.
