Holiday Inn Boxborough: Consistently exceeding expectations of discerning travelers, the Holiday Inn® Boxborough (I-495 Exit 28) hotel's facility infuses the modern travel experience with refreshing hospitality. After one visit to this well-appointed hotel's location off Interstate 495 in Massachusetts, it becomes clear why we have been ranked as the #1 Holiday Inn® hotel for guest satisfaction in the state.

Not Your Average Joe's: The name Not Your Average Joe's came out of Steve’s determination to avoid the run-of-the-mill-restaurant rut. He wanted to create a unique neighborhood place, where people know your name, where the food and prices are great, where you feel special without putting on special clothes.

Obviously, a lot of people want what he wanted. Today with more than a dozen locations in the Boston area and Northern Virginia, Not Your Average Joe's is satisfying a seemingly limitless hunger for creative casual cuisine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Home:

"Bush," the house of Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord MA is across the street from the Concord Museum, a ten-minute walk east of Monument Square.

Built in 1829 as a summer house by the Coolidge family, the house was bought by Emerson as a family residence in July 1835.

The house was a center for meetings of Emerson and his friends, and still contains original furniture and Emerson's memorabilia.

It was here that Emerson wrote his famous essays "The American Scholar" and "Self Reliance," here that he entertained Bronson and Louisa May Alcott, his aunt Mary Moody Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and many others.

Concord Museum: For a small town, Concord has a big history. From the “shot heard round the world” to the writers of the American literary renaissance, things have happened here, words have been spoken here and books have been written here which changed the face of a nation.

And nowhere is that important heritage captured more dramatically than at the Concord Museum—the ideal place to begin your visit to this picturesque community.
