Autumn’s arrival draws near here in Concord, Massachusetts, the most beloved romantic getaway near Boston. Concord is, of course, best known for its historical significance, dazzling old-world architecture, live theater, and downtown shopping. However, the region is equally beautiful, thanks to an array of tranquil water sources, semi-dense forestry, and rolling countryside. Every autumn, the ancient trees that tower above the streets, farmsteads, and inns transform into a colorful meld of amber, marigold, crimson, and kelly. And self-proclaimed “leaf-peepers” flock to Concord’s Colonial Inn to partake in a wide variety of fall activities in Massachusetts’s prized hidden gem.
