Walden Pond State Reservation

In order to preserve the natural environment, visitors are limited at this site, where Thoreau wrote his famous essays.

Reviewed By TrainManDan10 - Keene, United States

My wife and I went to the Walden Pond State Reservation on my birthday as I had studied Thoreau in High School, consider myself a naturalist, and approve of his non-violent Civil Disobedience. Everything that we found there, the setting, the pond, the original foundation of his 10 x 15 cabin, the re-constructed cabin with a re-enactor, the LEADS GOLD museum, the film, and the gift shop to be first class and an excellent reflection of Thoreau. In the Gift Shop, I bought one of the many different versions of Walden Pond and an excellent biography, "Henry David Thoreau A Life" by Laura Walls, published during the 200th anniversary of Thoreau's birth, 2017. You can catch her lecture about her book on youtube.

This is a beautiful spot in Woburn for a walk or a hike. You can see wildlife as you walk also. It is absolutely one of my favorite places.
