  • Visiting every light academia literary spot in Concord MA (Little Women house, Walden Pond, Wayside Inn and other literary light academia cottagecore awesomeness.
    I went to concord MA, which is near boston, and I visited places like Walden Pond, made famous by Henry David Thoreau, Orchard House, which was Luisa May Alcott's house (she wrote Little Women), as well as Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, which holds Author's Ridge, the resting Place of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote The Scarlet Letter, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Luisa May Alcott. I then went to sudbury to visit the Wayside Inn, made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem. there are a lot of light academia vibes as well as some surprising cottagecore moments in this town near Concord, MA.

    This made my cottagecore/ academia heart so happy!! The clips, excerpts, your reading voice, the editing, were just so beautiful!! I felt like I was in my dream field trip 🥰🥰 haha I’m also totally the type of person who would fangirl over a pond 😂❤️

    I grew up in Concord. The cabin was not built back in the 60's or early 70's, it was just a stone outline of the cabin. I'm glad you showed the Wayside Inn as my daughter was married in the Martha Mary Chapel and we always went to visit the Gristmill to relax.

    So few views for a special video. I agree with your sentiments about modernization... I find so much appeal in old fashioned spaces from many an era. Our cheap, mass produced decor these days is often far from appealing in comparison to handcrafted wooden furniture, candelabras, lanterns, ect. Thanks for doing this!

    • @CynicalDuchess
      @CynicalDuchess  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much Kevin! I totally agree. I love drinking in the old world architecture of NYC and Boston because of how intricate it all used to be

    Great Vid! I love visiting historic sites such as these, great ways to learn about past history. I recently passed through a city in Arizona called Flagstaff. Such an amazing city known for so many historic sites, such as being known for it’s lumber and railway history as well as where Pluto was discovered. Lots of mom and pop stores downtown including yes, Thrift stores. You can also experience all four season there, no joke they get snow. They also have an amazing warm and welcoming Chabad Jewish community there, since I passed through on a Shabbat, I needed a place to stay. Had an A+ experience there. Honestly I recommend if you’re ever in the Southwest, it would make for an awesome stop as well as great content for your channel. Such a warm welcoming and diverse place.

    • @CynicalDuchess
      @CynicalDuchess  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

I didnt know you put stones on graves to signify eternity!!! I always just thought it was there cos of nature? I never actually read mary poppins either

    • @CynicalDuchess
      @CynicalDuchess  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know hahaha I don't actually think id last a day alone in a cabin in the woods. honestly that sounds like a horror film. it probably is a horror film. Yah! we put it there cuz flowers wilt but since souls are eternal we put something that is also more or less eternal!

    Love this idea! I'm in California so my mind automatically went to Steinbeck's stories set in Salinas, CA during the Great Depression haha. I'd much rather frolic around Concord, MA. Also, somehow you made visiting the grave fun!
