1775 Conference

April 10-11, 2025

The Concord Museum, the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society, and the Massachusetts Historical Society will hold a conference in April 2025 on the theme “1775: A Society on the Brink of War and Revolution”. Held at the Concord Museum, the conference marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, with opportunities for attendees to visit historic sites and view objects and collections significant to the Revolution.

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Concord Museum will offer ongoing opportunities to gather as a community, reflect on the founding of our nation, and engage with the significance of our shared past for our present moment. Highlights will include three new special exhibitions, a special speaker series, a published catalog, and expanded educational resources. Together, these initiatives will showcase the incredible stories behind the eyewitness objects held at the Museum to illuminate the many different ways people experienced, shaped, and remembered the Revolution.
