    Winter afternoons are the perfect opportunity to come to the Concord Museum. Visit for the first time or revisit favorite galleries – all free on the following Sunday afternoons: Sunday, January 10th from 1:00 – 4:00, Sunday, January 17th from 1:00 – 4:00 and Sunday, January 24th from 1:00 – 4:00. With one of the oldest collections of Americana in the country, the Museum is renowned for its national treasures. In the history galleries and period rooms of the Museum, visitors discover the famous lantern hung in the steeple on the night of Paul Revere’s ride in 1775, the contents of Henry D. Thoreau’s house at Walden Pond, including the desk on which he wrote “Civil Disobedience” and Walden, and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Study, where he wrote his influential essays and met with other distinguished writers and thinkers during the American literary renaissance. A nationally-significant collection of Concord-made clocks, furniture and silver and other decorative arts serve to illustrate three centuries of Concord’s domestic life. Bring the family and see the 15 minute film, “Exploring Concord,” enjoy treasure hunts for younger children and hands-on activities in many of the galleries of the Museum. Also on view is the special exhibition, "A Dedication to Craft: North Bennet Street School @125." This juried exhibition, in collaboration with Boston’s esteemed North End school, presents contemporary furniture, jewelry, bookbindings, and musical instruments crafted by 60 of the school’s distinguished alumni.
