The Concord Museum’s Garden Tour has become a New England tradition for garden lovers from near and far. Now in its 33rd year, the Garden Tour takes place on two days, rain or shine and is a self-guided, self-paced tour of six Concord-area gardens. The Co-Chairs work closely with the Garden Selection Chair to choose appropriate gardens, then manage the event and volunteers.
Garden Selection Committee
The Garden Selection Committee chooses the gardens for the annual Garden Tour, taking into consideration the style of each garden and its location, and works with the garden owners to facilitate their part on the tour.

The Museum hosts this annual fundraiser event to support the education and public programs through raffle and live “paddle-up” opportunities. The Gala is the largest source of fundraising for the Paul Revere’s Ride Fund that underwrites the cost of transportation and programming to bring students from Lowell, Lawrence, and Everett to the Museum for object-based, hands-on history education. Co-chairs of the Gala plan the event and work with committees to produce this banner event each year!
Sponsorship
The Sponsorship Chair will partner with local and corporate businesses to create sponsorship opportunities for the Gala that provide critical support for the Museum’s education initiatives.
