SUMMARY:N.C. Wyeth's Men of Concord
DESCRIPTION:N.C. Wyeth’s Men of Concord brought together\, for the first time in nearly eighty years\, the twelve original panels N.C. Wyeth painted for the book\, Men of Concord and Some Others\, as Portrayed in the Journal of Henry David Thoreau(1936).

SUMMARY:Anatomy of a Desk and Walden\, a game
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brought focus to two iconic desks that played a major role in America’s literary tradition. The first\, a Windsor writing-arm chair\, was the desk at which Ralph Waldo Emerson penned his first book\, Nature. The second\, the humble green desk of Henry David Thoreau\, became no less a literary star as it accompanied Thoreau from the schoolroom where he taught with his brother to the pond where he drafted his most influential work\, Walden. These two desks from the Concord Museum collection were exhibited side by side in the gallery.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour 2017
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 28 Years of a New England Tradition\nThe famed Concord spokesman for individualism and self-reliance\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, once wrote: “When I go into a good garden\, I think\, if it were mine\, I should never go out of it.” This year the Concord Museum is celebrating 28 years of “going into good gardens” on the annual Concord Garden Tour. \nThe Museum’s Guild of Volunteers has organized this pre-eminent garden tour\, an unequalled opportunity both to share in the delights of beautiful and historic private gardens in Concord and to support the Museum’s Education Programs which annually serve over 12\,000 students from 85 Massachusetts communities and 22 states. \nThe Museum’s Garden Tour has become a New England tradition for garden lovers from near and far. The Garden Tour will take place on two days\, Friday and Saturday\, June 2 and June 3\, rain or shine. Each of the private gardens reflects the individual interests and passions of the owners and their families and will inspire both new gardeners designing their first perennial bed and accomplished landscapers with acres of “garden rooms.” The Garden Tour will feature a pop-up shop with refreshments and an “Ask An Arborist” booth\, each at a different garden. \nThe tour of Concord-area gardens is self-guided and self-paced\, beginning each day at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until 4:00 p.m. Garden-goers should arrive at the Museum to pick up their maps prior to starting out. Tickets are good for either or both days\, but each garden may only be visited once.  No refunds; no photography. \nTickets purchased after May 28 or at the door\, $35 Concord Museum Members\, $40 Non-Members.\nOnline registration is now closed for this event\, but tickets may be purchased at the Museum admissions desk\, both Friday and Saturday.

SUMMARY:This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal
DESCRIPTION:The bicentennial of Henry David Thoreau’s birth culminated with the opening of the most comprehensive exhibition ever created about one of the world’s most original writers and thinkers. This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal brought together remarkable holdings from the world’s two most significant Thoreau collections: journals\, manuscripts\, letters\, books\, and field notes from the Morgan Library & Museum; and\, from the Concord Museum\, unique personal items which included the simple green desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden and “Civil Disobedience.” \nThe exhibit featured nearly one hundred items and united for the first time the only two photographs for which Thoreau sat during his lifetime. The show centered on the journal Thoreau kept throughout his life and its importance in understanding the essential Thoreau. More than twenty of Thoreau’s journal notebooks were shown along with letters and manuscripts\, books from his library\, pressed plants from his herbarium\, and important personal artifacts like his walking stick. \nMargaret Burke\, Executive Director of the Concord Museum\, explained\, “Fresh from its extraordinary success at New York’s Morgan Library & Museum\, This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal is one of the most important exhibits the Concord Museum has had the privilege to present. We are excited to reunite – in his hometown – Henry David Thoreau’s personal items and journals. Nearly two centuries after Thoreau’s birth\, we are just beginning to appreciate the enormous impact he has had on our culture\, our thinking\, and our appreciation of our world. We are proud to share those insights with the people of Concord and with admirers from around the world.” \nThroughout 2017\, Concord celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of writer and thinker Henry Thoreau (1817-1862). The Concord Museum\, along with program partners\, developed a year-long initiative\, “Be Thoreau\,” which encouraged us to explore the writer’s work from a historical and contemporary perspective. \nEvery private journal tells the story of self. For his entire adult life\, Thoreau filled notebook after notebook with his observations and reflections\, strong in the belief that a closely examined life would yield infinite riches. His journal was his everyday companion\, an essential tool for a mindful existence\, and grist for Walden. The exhibition took Thoreau’s manuscript journal as a point of departure to introduce the many facets of this extraordinary man  – the student\, reader\, writer\, worker\, thinker\, Concord neighbor\, and above all\, keen observer of the inner and outer world. It revealed how Thoreau used his journal as a place to cultivate – and constantly renew – his very self. \n“It is a wonderful highlight of the bicentennial to have Thoreau’s journal back in Concord for the first time in more than a century. I am one of the many who believe that the place to find the real historical Thoreau is in his journal\, and this exhibition is the first ever to successfully view it in that light.” David Wood\, Concord Museum Curator
