Concord Museum

Included admission with the Go Boston Card
Concord Museum is a great place to start your tour of Concord and Lexington. Tucked away in a Colonial revival building on the side of a tree-lined country road, the Concord Museum houses amazing artifacts of American history. On exhibit is one of the lanterns hung in the Old North Church on the night of April 18, 1775, as well as other relics of the American Revolution. The Concord Museum also holds the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts associated with Henry D. Thoreau, including the desk on which he wrote the influential Walden Pond and “Civil Disobedience”. The Museum also houses the study of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American spokesman for individualism and self reliance.
The Concord Museum collection is a distinguished one containing numerous examples of 17th, 18th, and 19th-century decorative arts, case furniture, tables, seating furniture, clocks, looking glasses, textiles, ceramics, and metalware. Curators, historians, and educators have recognized the collection for its national significance for more than a century.
