It's spring in Concord, and you won't want to miss it! Patriots' Day will bring an array of exciting activities beginning on April 8 and running through April 19. Turn to the Illustrated Timeline of April 19, 1775, to follow the events of that historic day. You can also learn about the reenactors that bring history to life, the civilian evacuation of Concord on April 19, 1775, and the Concord Independent Battery, our nation's oldest ongoing active horse-drawn artillery unit. 

Spring in Concord is much more than Patriots' Day, though. We've tracked lots of Things to See & Do, including a celebration of the life and work of Louisa May Alcott, a very special exhibition of art at the Concord Museum, and 19 separate music and visual arts programs around town. Meet Phebe Bliss Emerson Ripley, a remarkable woman who witnessed the events of April 19, 1775, and find out how the descendants of two Scottish clans who fought each other hundreds of years earlier, met again on the Battle Road. Huzzah for spring!
