Exhibitions
In immersive, newly renovated galleries, history comes to life through the objects that witnessed Concord’s leading role in the start of the American Revolution.
Ongoing Exhibition:
April 19, 1775: Now On View
See the lantern from Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride and experience the day – April 19, 1775 – when the American Revolution began through dozens of objects that witnessed the start of the American Revolution.
March 27 – September 7
How have we remembered April 19, 1775, and the American Revolution over the last 250 years?
Featuring commemorative ephemera, unique relics, artworks and personal objects, and contemporary works that respond to the Revolution’s legacy, this special exhibition asks what we choose to remember—and what has been left out—as the public looks back to the founding of our nation. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to experience how the Revolution was remembered at key moments – in 1824, 1875, 1975, and even 2025. By pairing revelatory historical objects with evocative contemporary works, this dynamic exhibition asks all of us to reflect on our own role in building our nation today and for the future.
Special Events:

Second Annual Paul Revere’s Bike Ride
May 16 at 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Join us on a ride through the historic towns of Concord, Lexington, Lincoln, Bedford, and Carlisle on the second annual Paul Revere’s Bike Ride for the Concord Museum. Starting at the Concord Museum near the historic town center, cyclists can choose to ride a 19 or 32 mile loop on paved roads, passing many Revolutionary landmarks like the North Bridge, the Lexington Green, the Paul Revere Capture Site, and much more! This year’s 19-mile route is friendlier to families, including a segment on the iconic Minuteman Bikeway.
