Item Description
The Concord Museum is a museum of local history located at 200 Lexington Road, Concord, Massachusetts, United States, and best known for its collection of artifacts from authors Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. It is open daily except major holidays; an admission fee is charged.
Founded in 1886, the museum's collections started around 1850. Few collections of early Americana are as old or well documented. Its most notable items and collections include:
- The "one if by land, and two if by sea" lantern, said to be hung in the Old North Church in 1775, and immortalized in the 1860 poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- American Revolution artifacts including powder horns, muskets, cannonballs, and fifes
- A recreation of Ralph Waldo Emerson's study, including his books and furnishings, arranged as at his death in 1882
- The world's largest collection of Thoreau possessions (over 250 objects), including the bed, desk, and chair from his cabin at Walden Pond, where Thoreau wrote his 1849 book A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers and gained the inspiration for his 1854 book Walden
The winner of this auction will receive four tickets good for admission to The Concord Museum.
