The Concord Museum. Continuing to make history.
The Concord Museum presents centuries of objects from Concord and surrounding areas for everyone to experience and explore. These objects let us bring to life the stories of the diverse people who lived in Concord since its earliest days. Every day, Concord’s cultural, political, environmental, and literary history come alive in our collections, exhibitions, and programs. As historians, we know that history is never stagnant. We continually discover new things about our past, inspiring people to make connections between the past, present, and future.
Mission Statement
The Concord Museum connects people to Concord’s multi-faceted history and its continuing influence on American cultural, political, environmental, and literary life.
