Wright Tavern Open House

Improve listing Presented by Concord Museum

Join the Concord Museum at the historic Wright Tavern near the center of Concord. In partnership with First Parish, the first floor of this National Historic Landmark will be open to the public with activities, discussions, and living history!

Speak with living history interpreters in the original historic spaces, or play like a colonial kid with colonial games, crafts, and quill writing.

At 2:00 p.m., join a panel discussion with John Hannigan, PhD candidate in History at Brandeis University and Head of Reference Services at the Massachusetts State Archives, and David Wood, Concord Museum Curator. Learn about the role the building played in the events of the Revolution - from the election of John Hancock as president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress to visits from the King’s army during the battles of Concord and Lexington.

Free.

Directions/Transportation/Parking

The town of Concord is approximately 20 miles west of Boston. The Concord Museum is easily accessible from Route 495 or Route 128/I95, via Route 2, and is located 1/4 mile east of Concord Center, at the intersection of Lexington Road and Cambridge Turnpike; entrance is on Cambridge Turnpike; parking is free.

Via MBTA
Take the Red Line train to the Porter Square stop. At Porter Square, take the Fitchburg commuter rail to Concord station. The Museum is a one-mile walk from the Concord train station. Once you have exited the station, cross the street at the intersection as if you are going to the Mobil Station (Sudbury Road). Then turn left and continue down Sudbury Road until you reach Main Street. Continue onto Main Street and go straight through town, approximately 2 blocks, until you reach the rotary at the Town Green. At the rotary, bear right onto Lexington Road (the large white Unitarian Universalist Church will be on your right; the Colonial Inn will be at your back).
