  • Through March 17, 2013 – The Greatest Source of Wealth: Agriculture in Concord

    In Concord today, farmers, educators, planners, environmental activists, food distributors, health professionals, parents, and policymakers are engaged in a community-wide discussion about building local food connections. The town’s agrarian heritage and historic farmland are compelling starting points for that conversation. In celebration of this farming tradition, past and present, The Greatest Source of Wealth: Agriculture in Concord, a new exhibition and related programming at the Concord Museum, explores the changing agricultural landscape of Concord over time. The exhibition focuses on both the innovations of the 19th century, when Concord was at the forefront of agricultural reform, and the challenges of the 21st century.  Museum hours are Monday – Saturday, 9 – 5, Sunday noon – 5, closed Thursday, November 22.

    Guest Curator John Ott, an authority on the history of agriculture in Massachusetts, has organized the exhibition with Concord Museum Curator David Wood. For more information visit www.concordmuseum.org.
