Walden Pond
Landmark
The pond where Henry David Thoreau lived from 1845-1847 and wrote "Walden." While post-Revolutionary, Thoreau's ideas of civil disobedience extended the spirit of 1775.
What Happened Here
Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" argued for individual resistance to unjust laws—a direct philosophical descendant of the minutemen's stand against imperial authority.
