American author and naturalist
Henry David Thoreau traveled farther away from Concord and more
often than most of
us realize.
Yes, he loved his hometown and he knew practically every
inch of it. But he also went farther afield on more than 150
occasions: to Cambridge and Boston to use the libraries; to various points in New
England to lecture or to conduct property surveys; and to many places merely
to enjoy personal explorations or to visit with friends. He was most
certainly not a hermit. This site is devoted to Henry, to the places
he visited, and to the ways we can follow his paths today.
