Thank you so much! I'll look into that the train to Concord and Salem one of the days I'm there.

As someone who lives in Concord, you’re going to need a rental car. Both of our commuter rail train stops are far from historical sites and Uber is spotty especially in March.

So Lexington and Concord are next to each other but Salem is far from them. Separate trains. This person is right that visiting both would be a lot on such a short trip. I much prefer Salem as there is a lot more to do there.

Given the length of your stay, I'd suggest sticking to Boston and Salem and skipping Concord. Yeah yeah, it's an important site and all that, but unless you go during one of the reenactments (which happen on Patriots' Day in April, not in March) you're basically just looking at an empty field with a few plaques.

Just to add, if you're already near North Station downtown, the commuter rail is very easy to Salem. It's usually faster than driving and you don't have to find somewhere to park. Salem is nice and walkable too so you won't need a car, unlike Lexington and Concord.

Google maps will give you the schedule.
