"Concord, MA... American History trip " a Concord Travel Page by davecallahan

This was part of a family vacation to teach what it was like to live and work in America before it was the United States.

Concord and Lexington (Middlesex County) were must-sees to get a feel of where the revolution began and to get a sense of who the revolutionaries were.

Many people mispronounce the name Concord, including tourists and the children on the Welch's fruit juice commercials. The most common mispronunciation is "kon-kord," with the second syllable pronounced like the word "chord." The town name is correctly pronounced as the word "conquered," with the "ord" in the name of the town pronounced as if it were "erd" as in "nerd."
