Concord

Concord is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Concord was a famous historic town, founded in 1635, famous along with nearby Lexington as the site of several battles that lead to the American Revolutionary War. The town's centerpiece, the Museum of Freedom, described these events and welcomed tourists, as the rest of the city shows remnants of patriotic bunting, flags, and signs. Sanctuary Hills, a suburb of Concord, was the home of the Sole Survivor before the Great War.

In 2287, the city is a raider stronghold, and upon the Sole Survivor's emergence from nearby Vault 111 it is where Preston Garvey and his group become trapped after the Quincy Massacre.

Layout
The houses and stored of Concord are mostly ruined and boarded up, but there are a few areas of note: the Museum of Freedom and the church in the southeast part of town; the workhouse near the main road on the north side of town; Concord Speakeasy relatively in the center of town, down the street from the Museum of Freedom; and Concord civic access underground.
