There have been a few times when DH and I have been sitting on the porch of the Colonial Inn, in our bike clothes, after a long ride, enjoying a beer or glass of wine. We have had people on the buses staring, pointing, and taking our picture! Thankfully, I spend more time in our "other" town center, West Concord, which is artsy and down to earth, and rarely gets any tourists.
I have a close friend where she and her parents/sibling used to live beside the famous CAnadian Underground Railway site for black slaves ...later named Uncle Tom's Cabin. It's in Canada, not the U.S. Lots of buses..from the U.S., etc. Her town of 2,000 is only 30 km. or less from the U.S. border.

And probably some cycling groups. I understand one of the cycling organizations has a ride that visits the underground railway major sites and other stuff related to black history.
