Black History of Concord

Learn about Concord’s rich history of Black Concordians on this 90-minute walking tour. The tour will visit sites highlighting Concord’s history around enslavement as we learn about  those who fought bravely for freedom. We will meet the first generation of self-emancipated leaders and the  power and agency they took as they fought for freedom and equality for all people.  We see how these families strived to support themselves  in the town and worked to shape their own destinies as free men and women. The tour will visit The Robbins House built for Patriots of Color Cesar Robbins and childhood home of civil rights leader Ellen Garrison.

Duration:          90 minutes to 2 hours                              1.5 miles
