Enjoy free admission and family activities as we begin the countdown to the 250th anniversary of April 19, 1775. While you are at the Museum, see the lantern that was used as a signal on the night of Paul Revere’s midnight ride along with other objects that witnessed this pivotal day in history.

From 5:30 – 7:30 pm gather on the front lawn of the Concord Museum for food and wine trucks, lawn games, face painting, a lantern-making craft, and living history with Minutemen. At 7:30 pm join a procession to Monument Square to lay your lantern and officially start the countdown to April 19, 2025.

Bring your own picnic blanket or lawn chairs and join in the fun!
