In the Galleries

The Museum's exhibitions foster greater understanding of the history of Concord, New England and our Nation. Visitors of all ages learn about the principles of freedom, self-government, roots of American literature and environmentalism, and our shared cultural heritage. Putting your beliefs in to action is the underlying theme in the Museum's Why Concord? history galleries. These galleries, at the heart of the Museum, are designed around visitors' questions about Concord's remarkable past, its part in America's history and the community's preservation today.
