Step back to 1775 and experience the American Revolution through the eyes of those who lived it. Join Concord Museum Curator and Willard House & Clock Museum Trustee David F. Wood for Eyewitness to Revolution, an engaging presentation exploring more than eighty remarkable artifacts from the Revolutionary era.

Among the featured objects is a fractured looking glass owned by Concord militia captain David Brown, broken by British soldiers on April 19, 1775, and preserved by his family for generations. Today, the surviving shard serves as a powerful witness to the birth of a nation.

Drawn from the Concord Museum's renowned collection, these artifacts illuminate the people, events, and everyday experiences that shaped the American Revolution—from its earliest tensions through the Siege of Boston and the years following independence.

Don't miss this fascinating opportunity to connect with history through the objects that witnessed it firsthand.

David Wood has been the curator of the Concord Museum since 1985 and in that time has twice overseen the reinterpretation and reinstallation of all the long-term exhibition spaces in the Museum, developed and implemented an estimated 100 temporary exhibitions in the 1000 square-foot Wallace Kane Gallery, written two books on the Museum collection, edited and contributed to a third, and written several articles on the furniture makers, silversmiths, and clockmakers of Concord.
