This was a highlight of our visit to Concord. The Paul Revere gallery was wonderful, but the literary artifacts were amazing. The museum was very careful with the number of people booked in advance and sanitizing. I felt very safe there.

Good time-killer if you are traveling through the Concord area. Took an hour maximum to get through everything. Notable artifacts overshadow the less significant ones. Many areas of the building were under construction and off limits. Would not go out of my way to go here but if I was passing through Concord, it would not be a bad stop.

The great staff with an amazing knowledge of the past history of the town. Very pleased with the safety and protection of me and my family while we visit the museum we will come again soon.!

Great exhibits, beautiful museum, and friendly staff who can answer any questions you may have!

Super accommodation for the Fun Free Fridays crowd. Spectacularly put together, especially for all ages. The scavenger hunt had everyone engaged in learning, and they threw in a bit of fun!

Not a bad place. Infested with raiders though and a death claw outside so be careful if ya visit. Made up for it little though by finding a sweet set of power armor and a mini gun on the roof, sadly the vertabird is trashed. Probably wouldve steered clear of it though had i known I was gunna meet Preston Garvey.....guy keeps nagging me about another settlement that needs help.....speaking of, here he comes again.

Concord Museum is a great stop in a town with a number of historical house museums. We especially loved seeing Thoreau’s desk

What a wonderful afternoon we had viewing the Christmas Trees with a book for each tree!!! Favorite? Not able to choose ALL were spectacular!!! Absolutely worth a visit!!! Staff was INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY which made our visit OVER the top!!! Lunch to follow at The Concord Inn - a ABSOLUTE favorite of mine!!!

Very nice but small; bit overpriced considering how small the exhibit is. Just a few items from Thoreau and Emerson and some Native American. The limited Paul Revere exhibit made it a little more worthwhile. Very nice of you are a history buff and worth a visit but be prepared that theres not much to the museum.

We visited the museum at the reopening; most of the construction was complete. The artifacts are correctly displayed, well lit, in nice galleries..that is... 3 or 4 very small rooms. There are very few items, though there are a few treasures. There is a custom Revere silver tea set said to be authentic and a trunk of Hancocks that has a great historical story. Also some old clocks. There are far, far more employees than visitors. I would allow no more than an hour, even after reading all descriptions. Its a great place for 8 year old school kids such the group that was on a tour when we were there.

This is a fascinating museum within walking distance of the Louisa May Alcott house. I came across it walking back from Alcotts house to my hotel. There are two floors dedicated to local history, mostly 18th and 19th century.I especially enjoyed the temporary exhibition on fashion. Honestly, I didnt think the topic would interest me as much as it did. I was drawn in by the panel about how clothes were made, which gave me a new appreciation for the dresses on display. I also enjoyed talking to a docent about the history of the dresses, and why they were so well-preserved. For kids and the young at heart, theres a table where you can design your own fan. I had fun doing that.Its well worth spending an hour or so here to expand your knowledge of local history.

Very helpful staff

It was pretty good here despite the actual museum being closed. The makeshift displays ezt door in the learning center were pretty good. Make sure to check the museum hours and check to see when the museum itself is open again.

The museum is looking pretty good especially after a nuclear war and over 200 years of harsh weather if only that dang Garvy wasn’t there

Not just about the War but many poets who lived by and other pieces as well. Currently building an addition. Was part of the Boston Go Card so was worth a stop.

Lovely historical museum; currently under renovation. Many activities to keep children engaged.

Very well kept. A lot of history in this building.

Ask the docents some questions and youll hear of a lot more stories

Another settlement needs your help, Babe.

Expected to see more artifacts but certainly surprised that a signal lantern from the Old North Church was here

Came here because my robot butler sent me here, found this annoying guy who keeps telling me about settlements asking for help. 0/10

We went to see there Christmas tree display with our granddaughter. A very nice presentation.

Fairly fine experience. I had a time exploring the area and seeing the rich history that people had preserved all these years later. Most of the exhibits had an impact on my travel group, with the sophisticated scenarios the museum represented. Although it was not perfect, it was a very great time, and Id recommend the Concord Museum to any East Coast travellers in the area.

I guess I missed the point here. A few and I emphasize few artifacts and possessions from the revolutionary era. My suggestion grab your phone and take a walk through the park and you will see and learn more. Extremely disappointed.

I only give 4 of 5 as the museum is currently being renovated and has the new wing open (in the Rasmussen Ed Center); the $5 tour of a few artifacts was nice, but Carol wouldnt let me get a word in edge-wise. She was knowledgeable, but a bit edgy. Loved to see the lamp from Paul Reveres ride! Also, a very nice-looking teddy bear tea event was happening that day... looked fun (for my daughters, not me!)

Not a lot in the museum. There are better places to visit. Walden Pond is one place.

The main museum is under renovation and wont be fully ready until October. When I went on July 7th they only had a few exhibits available to view for $5 per adult. They are open daily in the summer from 10am to 4pm.Free for active duty military.

Nice museum!

I came here with my parents while the actual musuem was under renovation. We instead went through the temporary museum. It was grossly over priced for what we were able to see. The only upside was the air conditioning because it was super hot outside.

The Concord Museum is nicely situated in the heart of Concord/Lexington. I was disappointed there werent more memorabilia or things to see, but they said they had just moved the museum and were still in the process of moving. Hopefully the next time I visit there will be more to see. The guided tour was interesting. Very clean establishment and friendly staff - If they didnt know the answer to a question, they were willing to find out either by asking other staff members or looking up online or researching at the library, .

Small but well done museum in the suburb of Concord, MA that does a great job of capturing the rich history of this area. Also, they do some unique things like the annual Christmas trees in during that season.

Great place to visit. Perfect for the family. Interesting Concords history. The museum staff are very friendly, the brochures are very informative. The museum have a little store with specialty books and gifts. OMG, the restrooms are immaculate clean. love it.

Unfortunately we toured when the museum was under construction so we only got to see a little of the collection. Moreover, the staff kept am eerily keen watch on us... Somewhat discomforting... Wasnt a good start to our day...

This was interesting, but the museum was being renovated so we did not get the full effect. It did not take long to complete the tour.

Very disappointing. Nothing on website prepared us for the poor amount of items to see. Yes they are rehabbing the facility, but it should be clearly stated on website that it is not extensive. Took 3o minutes with a guide to see everything. Do not waste your time going for at least a year. Even then who knows how limited it will be.Not very good. Stay away.

Small but amazing exhibitions

Dont miss this extraordinary experience! The 20min presentation is enthralling. Staffing of Park Rangers and Museum speakers are quite knowledgeable and are prepared with answers to any and all questions! I personally had the opportunity to listen to the resident Ranger speak in depth and with much zeal, about the period clothing and uniforms, detailing the importance of said clothing and how they were influenced by the politics of the times.

The man at the desk did not seem like a people person and was unable to answer my questions about the early settlers of concord. He pointed me toward the first room. Although the first room was about the early settlers, it was very general and I did not find what I was looking for. However, The museum itself was nice. Well organized and interesting. It was family friendly. If you are more interested in the late 1700s and 1800s this museum is for you.

A wonderful place to learn about the history of Concord from end to end. The staff is very friendly. The museum is self-guided, so you can go through quickly or spend hours, and never be disappointed.

Beautiful museum.

Had a blasts lots of stuff to do and see

A remarkably well-done regional museum. Inclusive storyline encompasses African-Americans, and not just those who were enslaved people--and uses appropriate language. Welcome effort to draw young peoples interest and involvement with family guides. Special exhibit on Thoreaus Journals was really excellent.

Very interesting to learn history of the revolution.

It was a nice visit.0

Another settlement needs your help.

Under renovation right now, so the main building is closed, but still a guided tour is available in the building next door. A bunch of history and facts, and the staff is knowledgeable.

My tween daughter and I visited here on July 6 - it was right at opening and we had the place to ourselves and stayed for about 15 minutes.Make sure you stop to see the Lantern hung in the North Church. Everyone was very helpful and informative.This is included on the Boston Go Card. I recommend the stop.

Not open Friday in January.

Ok; but a little disappointed at the numb6of exhibits

Great experience, lots to learn. Only three stars because it was freezing in there and couldnt stay for the whole museum due to the cold.

It was very nice and informative. We were pressed for time but we managed to see most of it.

The Family Tree exhibit is always rewarding.

Love the family tree exhibit each year!

A great immersive historical experience with rotating exhibits on top of their core displays. Great for out of town visitors and kids older than 10.

Expected much more for size of complex and price.

A very nice American history muesum , staff well informed ,very helpful .

Another settlement needs your help.

Pretty small but interesting place. They have a little kids scavenger hunt and some nice things for little kids to see and certainly worth a visit if you had a short time to kill in the area.

Great museum with fun and interesting information about Concord’s role in colonial history and into the 1800s.

A wonderful museum. Loved it do much that we became members!

Great family friendly museum with a major expansion coming. I love getting lost here.

Great artifacts and friendly staff, with abundant and delicate exhibition here.I also love small activities for children in the museum, let kids learning from the life and art ,so nice.Five stars,it deserved!!

Fun museum for kids. Some exhibits change seasonally. Very nice antique doll house collection.

Nice museum. Well done with local artifacts and information. Worth thre stop.

ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS OUR HELP. iLL MARK IT ON YOUR MAP. MEANWHILE, BE SURE TO OFFER HELP TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS IT, IT CAN ONLY HELP OUR CAUSE.

New exhibit, Fresh Goods. Shopping for clothing in Concord in the 18th and 19th centuries.

A lot more empty than I thought. Awesome records from writers and very clean.

Kid friendly, guides very knowledgeable.

Nice museum. Offers a historical film as well as many displays.

Great exhibits and easy to get around.

Nicely set up. Informative and worth the time to visit.

Great.

I think this deserves a 5 star rating because Im going to the concord museam with my school and if we go I know other kids and schools would like it shout out to the Learning Community Charter School

One of the first places i visited in Concord, a few people there werent very friendly but we resolved our differences, did meet a few people in there that were nice though and needed my help getting to the town up the road.Did some tinkering with their generator and believe it or not found a very old suit of power armour on the roof, and a Minigun, instantly jumped off the roof and hung out with the locals until a deathclaw burst from the sewers and tried to eat me.

A good into to the area. Not exciting. Traditional things in glass cases.

Theres a crashed vertibird on the roof, with a full suit of T-45 power armor. If you can get that suit, the tides could change for us.

Awful experience.. Came here with a group and thought it might be a nice place to settle down, raiders ambushed the place. Had to get another guy to clear them out for us. Dont even get me started on the 12ft lizard outside.

Good tour. Cool and old artifacts.

Great new building!

Small museum, but its so great to learn more about history.

Nice area to visit its walking distance from food and ice cream

They did have a lot of historical artifacts, but there was so much text on the walls to read it could have been a novel. For all the reading that it required, I think I would have rather bought a book about Concords history.

Very well organized, clear explanations,

Really interesting and a great place to bring children and adults alike.

Exhibition is getting old and worn. Must have more life added to display.

Nice local museum. A little expensive, but a good way to spend an hour

Awful experience. A nearby deathclaw nearly killed me. Speaking of deathclaws, another settlement needs our help here ill mark it on your map.

Main building is closed, there is nothing now.

The wealth of historical information on display in Concord, MA, well-known for its role in the first battle of the Revolutionary War as well as its history as a significant Transcendentalist hub in the mid-19th century, is overwhelming. If its your first time visiting Concord, this is a great place to start: it provides a great overview of the history of the town, starting in colonial times and working its way through much of the 19th century and into the 20th, with particular focus on the Revolutionary and Transcendentalist history. You can also see a reconstructed version of Ralph Waldo Emersons study (original furniture!) and various special exhibits that change from time to time. Start here before you see Orchard House (Louisa May Alcott), the Old Manse (Emerson/Hawthorne), Emersons House, the Wayside, or the Bridge.

Great exhibits and artifacts! Friendly and informed staff!

Nice overview of local history.

Very interesting and worth the visit.

¿ educative and fun.

Local gem. Specializing in local history. See Paul Reveres lantern.

Beautiful clocks, great exhibits, period rooms

Great.

A must see for anyone, not just history buffs.

Another settlement needs your help, here Ill mark it on your map

Nice museum. .

Lots of history in this little museum.
