Discover the art of Jaeok Lee whose three-dimensional practice is deeply influenced by the Korean folk art, traditions, and rituals that she grew up surrounded by.

The Historic Peabody Building: A Gem in the Woods of Concord

The Peabody Building is part of Concord’s mid-century modern architectural legacy. Designed in 1968 by The Architects Collaborative (TAC) as an elementary school, it was opened in 1970 and served (along with the Sanborn building) for 55 years as the Concord Middle School. This building is the physical manifestation of the mid-century architects’ aspirations for the elevation of our society, starting with children and the design of their environment.

Discover the Battle Road

This week from Discover the Battle Road: Concord didn’t suddenly wake up on April 19, 1775, and decide the time had come for action. For months, the town was already moving from uneasy tension to open defiance, organizing militia readiness and helping lay the groundwork for what was coming. Discover more in “Concord on the Eve of War." And when the fighting finally erupted, the men weren’t carrying standardized weapons. Instead, they came armed with what they had available - local fowlers, older British arms, imported pieces, and even prized French guns with histories of their own. “I Picked Up a Good French Gun: The Muskets of the Battles of Lexington and Concord" delves into the armaments of citizen-soldiers on that day.
