Concord, Massachusetts is a community rich in historical association, renowned as the site of the battle that began the American Revolution and as the home of the most original thinkers and writers of the American literary renaissance. The Concord Museum is the one place where all of Concord's remarkable past is brought to life -- Algonkians, Puritans, Revolutionaries, Loyalists, Farmers, Silversmiths, Transcendentalists, Cabinetmakers, Anti-Slavery Activists, Mill-Workers.

The Concord Museum is a great place to start any visit to the historic town of Concord, Massachusetts. The Museum, founded in 1886, serves as a center of learning and cultural enjoyment for the thousands of visitors touring Concord each year, as well as for area residents of all ages. 

The Concord Museum collection began around 1850 and was exhibited before the Civil War; only a handful of Americana collections can claim to be as old or as remarkably well-documented. 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 -- all with histories linking them to first owners in Concord. The collection has been recognized for its national significance by curators, historians and educators for more than a century.

Highlights of the Museum's renowned collection include:

• The "one, if by land, and two, if by sea" lantern, immortalized by Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride.


• Artifacts from the American Revolution, including powder horns, muskets, cannonballs and fifes


• The world's largest collection of Thoreau possessions, including furnishings from his cabin at Walden Pond


• The contents of Ralph Waldo Emerson's study where he wrote his influential essays
