Concord Museum

Take a deep dive into America’s Revolutionary history and Concord’s extraordinary role in our shared past. This hidden gem is housed in a colonial-revival building on the side of a tree-lined country road and, once inside, you'll find art and exhibits from the 17th, 18th, and 19th century. 

Explore 16 galleries of immersive and interactive experiences just a 10-minute walk from the town center of Concord. See one of the original lanterns hung in the Old North Church on the night of April 18, 1775, Henry David Thoreau's writing desk on which he wrote the influential 'Walden' and 'Civil Disobedience’, and much more! 

Founded in 1886, the Museum houses one of the most notable collections of American material culture and decorative arts in the country. Curators, historians, and educators have recognized the collection for its national significance for more than a century – so don't miss a trip to the museum on your Boston adventure.
