Walden Pond
-
This is where Thoreau wrote 'On Walden Pond', and so became the first modern environmentalist. You can walk around the Pond itself in less than an hour, and there isn't a great deal to see. But the feeling of being where this all began is magical. You should combine this with a few other locations in wonderful Concord.
For those not familiar with Thoreau, he was also the key inspiration for the non-violent protest movements of Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. And much more besides.
