Concords Tablet Trail Through Towns Formation and War
A tour through Concords historic tablets describes 1635 settlement led by Rev Peter Bulkeley, key figures like Simon Willard, early town governance, and the 1774 Provincial Congress meeting at the First Parish Meeting House with John Hancock presiding and Benjamin Lincoln as secretary. The narrative links Musketaquid origins to the town's evolving monuments and revolutionary memory.
