The Concord Museum Celebrates 125 years

In the fall of 2011, the Concord Museum will mark the 125^th anniversary of the establishment of the Concord Antiquarian Society in 1886. In honor of that remarkable achievement, a special exhibition, Crowdsourcing a Collection, offers new and unexpected perspectives on an esteemed collection. Pulitzer-prize winning author, historian, and Concord resident Doris Kearns Goodwin is serving as the Honorary Curator for the exhibition.  A cross-section of the individuals who make up the Museum’s diverse community, including nationally-known individuals with connections to Concord, have been invited to serve as Guest Curators and have selected objects from our holdings that have special meaning for them.
