Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Concord brings together historic sites and collections with trails that vary clearly in length and use. Historic Downtown Concord has three officially designated historic districts; Greenway options range from a 0.5-mile trail to an approximately 4-mile loop. This lets you choose between cultural history and outdoor activity.

Historic Sites and Collections

Historic Downtown Concord encompasses the three officially designated historic districts of North Union, South Union and Edgewood. The Cabarrus County Veterans Museum is located in the lobby of the Cabarrus County Government Center in Downtown Concord. It honors County military service members from World War I to the present day.

The Morrison Motor Car Museum in Concord offers a different perspective on history. Its collection includes classic, historic and high-performance vehicles spanning several decades of American and international automotive design. The exhibits also include NASCAR memorabilia, historic engines and racing artifacts. Visitors choosing cultural themes for their stay can therefore distinguish between honoring military service and exploring automotive and racing history.

The Davis Theatre is located in a restored historic courthouse dating to 1876 in Concord. This live performance venue has 227 seats; its genres range from jazz and blues to Americana and roots music. The theater offers another cultural perspective alongside the historic districts and museum collections.

Compare Greenways and Trails

The Village Urban Trail connects Downtown Concord with part of the existing Village Greenway. The Village Greenway is 0.5 miles long and starts at the trailhead parking lot at the corner of Spring Street and Elm Avenue, across from the Boys & Girls Club of Concord. Along the Greenway, the trail passes the historic Academy Recreation Center and ClearWater Arts Center & Studios. ClearWater is a public facility owned and operated by the City of Concord.

The approximately 4-mile Downtown Greenway Loop is suitable for a longer walk or a jog. The McEachern Greenway currently runs for 2.2 miles along the Three-Mile Branch. The Downtown Connector is a paved Greenway connection between McEachern Boulevard SE at the Concord Main Post Office and McGee Park. These details help distinguish the trails by length and by the connections described for each.

For mountain biking, Brown Mill Mountain Bike Trail Park has 4.25 miles of trails for skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Another type of green space is W.W. Flowe Park, a 44-acre community park in the southern part of Concord.

If you’re choosing Concord for a particular focus, its districts, museums and performance venue offer different cultural themes. For outdoor activities, you can instead choose between the Downtown Greenway Loop, explicitly suited to walking or jogging, and the mountain bike trails at Brown Mill Mountain Bike Trail Park.
