Gatepost Tours, Concord

What can a stand-up comedian tell you about history? In the case of Gatepost Tours, quite a bit. The company was founded by a 25-year veteran of the stand-up world, so each and every tour comes packed with humorous—and historically interesting—anecdotes. On 10 guided tours, groups walk (or ride coaches, in some cases) deep into Concord's past. They relive the shot heard round the world. They meet up with Thoreau at Walden Pond. They might even uncover ghosts and revolutionary-era VHS tapes in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
