About Concord's Colonial Inn
Internet Access 24 hour reception
Concord's Colonial Inn has a long and distinguished history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original structure was built in 1716, and the property been operating as a hotel since 1889. Situated on Concord's town common, now known as Monument Square, the Inn is surrounded by many landmarks of our nation's literary and revolutionary history.
In 1775, one of the Inn's original buildings was used as a storehouse for arms and provisions. When the British came to seize and destroy the supplies, the Minutemen met them at the North Bridge on April 19th for what became the first battle of the American Revolution. The event is commemorated every April in Concord with a parade by the Colonial Inn and a ceremony at the North Bridge on Patriots Day.
During the first half of the nineteenth century, parts of the Inn were used as a variety store, and it became a center of lively commerce in the town. The property was also used as a residence and in the early 1800s the Thoreau family moved in. Henry David Thoreau lived in what is now the Colonial Inn from 1835 to 1837 while he attended Harvard.
Beginning in the mid 1800s, the building was used as a boarding house and then a small hotel, named the Thoreau House after Henry's aunts, the "Thoreau Girls." By 1900, the property was given its current name-The Colonial Inn.
