Winter 2022 issue

Volume 4 - Issue 6

Winter is anything but quiet in Concord, with dozens of Things To See & Do, both indoors and out. This issue also brings you the plight of Concordians in 1816 when a major snowstorm hit the northeast in June of that year. "Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death: The Year Without a Summer” brings that unusual time to life. Speaking of unusual, you might not think that such a simple commodity as ice could be tied to Irish legend, Henry David Thoreau, Martinique, and insanity but “The Old Hag, The Ice King, and the Artichoke: Concord’s Role in the Insane Ice Trade” will give you a new perspective on those unassuming cubes in your drink. Take a moment and meet Sophia Peabody Hawthorne - a writer, painter, illustrator, and sculptor whose work is still admired today. Learn more in “’Intuition is the unerring truth’: Sophia Peabody Hawthorne.” And Concord once again says "Long live the King!" as a new King Charles takes the throne. So grab a cup of tea and curl up with the Winter issue of Discover Concord.
