An important element of the loop trail through this part of Concord, the Hosmer Land’s steeply glaciated terrain adds an interesting contrast to the rolling farmland and flood plains characteristic of other parts of the loop. The Hosmer Land, located west of Old Road to Nine Acre Corner was donated to CLCT in 1961-1962. One parcel consisting of almost 11 acres was donated by Gladys Hosmer, and an additional three acres were donated by the J&E Company.

The loop trail that now runs through the Hosmer Land and Mattison Field represents a great example of partnerships. In 1998, CLCT joined with the Friends of the Mattison Field, local and state leaders, and a national non-profit organization to preserve 43 acres of farm field. The land is now owned by the Town of Concord.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a hike at Mattison Field.
