Day One highlights on Rob and Lizzy’s jaunt to the Concords in NY and PA…. The restart of the Concord Project appropriately began in New Concord, New York. It’s a stone’s throw from the Mass Pike, so it was a perfect spot to break up the 7 hr. drive to Concord, NY. We passed through twice. Once on our way toward Buffalo, and we returned three nights later to spend the night.
The impact of COVID lingered:
“Should we shake hands?” “Should we wear masks in your car?” Despite the initial awkwardness, Rick our host in New Concord, couldn’t have been more welcoming.
Two tidbits: New Concord was the childhood home of the suffragette, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and New Concord may be the third oldest of all the Concords.
