This exhibition features selections from the William Munroe Special Collections and the Town Archives, including art, photographs, broadsides, Town records, and ephemera that explore how Concordians have celebrated the anniversary of the Battle of Concord, or the \"Concord Fight,\" on April 19, 1775.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Learn how celebrations have combined public interest and trends with historical commemoration, and how these events have evolved. While mainstay traditions like parades, invited speakers, balls, and re-enactments have prevailed and changed, new traditions have also been introduced, reflecting the community's diverse interests.<\/p>\n
