It’s still Pride month, and that means Pride events are still happening like Grace and Elizabeth, Tues June 16, 6 pm at the Concord Free Public Library. This original living history piece was created by Concord Visitor Center history interpreters.
Grace Keyes (Massachusetts women’s golf champion) and Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts (artist and founder of Concord Art) shared a 27-year unconventional partnership in Concord. They met in 1900, traveled the world, and eventually bought a home together in Keyes’ hometown of Concord. Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts is a prominent American Impressionist painter who studied in Europe, exhibited widely, and founded the Concord Art Centre (now the Concord Art Association). She also interacted with figures like Isabella Stewart Gardner.
Grace Keyes was an avid athlete, outdoor enthusiast, and the 1900 Massachusetts women’s golf champion who helped found the Women’s Golf Association of Boston. Free to the public but register at Concord Library. @concordmapride @concordlibrary @concordart #concordpride #concordpride2026 #concordhistory #concordart

Did you know Concord, Massachusetts, has surprising ties to Scotland?
Scottish Enlightenment ideas helped shape early America. Concord’s Ralph Waldo Emerson exchanged ideas with Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle for decades. And many Scottish visitors find a familiar appreciation for history, landscape, and sense of place in New England.
With Scotland coming to Massachusetts for the 2026 World Cup, a centuries-old connection is getting a new chapter.
Come visit Concord, just 20 miles from Boston.
