Museum has some revolutionary ideas for those seeking engaging rainy day activities
Looking for a way to pass a rainy day? They have some revolutionary ideas at the Concord Museum. Stroll through the museum’s 16 renovated and redesigned galleries, where you’ll feel a part of the town’s connection to the American Revolution, to its indigenous and abolitionist history, and to its great literary icons, including Emerson, Thoreau and Alcott. Among the museum’s treasured Americana collection are the Paul Revere Lantern, Thoreau’s writing desk, historic clothing from the 18th to early 20th century, muskets and swords from the Revolutionary War and a spearhead from the period immediately following the Ice Age. There’s a scavenger hunt through the galleries and other hands-on activities for children and families. Check the website calendar for upcoming special events.
