Discover Concord
A Special Place in Historic Concord
Middlesex draws inspiration from its hometown of Concord, Massachusetts, widely celebrated as the birthplace of the nation, brimming with timeless New England charm, and home to some of the nation’s most influential writers, artists, and activists, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Louisa May Alcott. Just 20 miles west of Boston and 3 miles from the Middlesex campus to the center, Concord provides our students with myriad opportunities for cultural and social enrichment. Daily shuttles that run into town give students the chance to explore historic sites, browse local boutiques, dine at cozy cafés and farm-to-table restaurants, or enjoy ice cream from nearby farms.
In short, Concord provides the perfect backdrop for the Middlesex experience.
