For a small town, Concord has a big history. And nowhere is that important heritage captured more dramatically than at the Concord Museum. An inspiring collection of American historical, literary and decorative arts treasures includes the famous “one, if by land, and two, if by sea” 1775 Revere lantern, immortalized by Longfellow’s poem, the humble desk on which Henry D. Thoreau wrote Walden and “Civil Disobedience,” and the newly-restored Study of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
