    A new exhibition in honor of the 375th anniversary of the founding of the town features extraordinary objects —a number related to the events of April 19th—that have been passed down in Concord’s families and then entrusted to the Concord Museum. These objects—spanning twelve generations— come with fascinating stories that tell us much about the town and those who have lived and worked here: famous residents and ordinary citizens, ministers and mothers, journalists and farmers, school girls and teachers, war heroes and literary icons. In many cases the objects have never traveled further than a mile from where they were made; others have traveled far and wide, finally coming home to Concord. The exhibition includes portraits, jewelry, work tools, needlework, ceramics, clothing, furniture, clocks and silver, all donated to the Concord Museum by family members with the intent to preserve Concord’s history for generations to come. The title “Into Your Hands” is taken from a 1942 letter written by Lucy Merriam Bigelow describing her gift of family possessions to the Museum. Ongoing April 16 through September 19.
