town (a large stone obelisk is on the common). Turn right
onto Concord Road, the church is on the left, and the fire
station is on the right.
Park in the lot on the right side of the church or behind the fire station. Do not park on the street. If both of these lots are full, park in the lot behind Town Hall.
