The photographs below were taken on a trip to Concord, Massachusetts during the summer of 2000. The purpose of the trip was to walk in the footsteps of Thoreau, Emerson, the Alcotts, and Hawthorne. We hope to provide students with more than just factual information, but a sense of who these great literary people were and how they interacted with each other.
