Fans of Marimekko fabrics and clothing will remember that Design Research in Cambridge brought these midcentury designs to the US in the late 1950s. Founded in Helsinki, Finland, the loose, colorful, and whimsical graphics of these unique pieces were made famous when future first lady Jacqueline Kennedy bought eight Marimekko dresses and wore them throughout the 1960 US presidential campaign.

Each year in Concord, Lexington, and other nearby towns, thousands of people from around the world gather to commemorate the events that led to the American Revolution. Here are a few of the highlights of this year’s events.

Antique treasure hunters are in for a treat with the arrival of Bobbi Benson Antiques and Estate Jewelry in Concord Center. A Concord resident of more than 25 years, Bobbi Benson is a talented generalist in the field of antiques.

Objects can sometimes carry meanings beyond their original purpose. For Ezekiel Davis of Acton, a peculiar hole in his old hat told a very big story!

There’s no need to stay home during the winter months. Concord’s many cultural and historical sites have a season’s worth of entertainment lined up for you this year.

You may have heard the old expression, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just a bad choice of clothing.” Winter is a fantastic time to explore all that Concord has to offer. So, bundle up, grab a friend, and let the adventure begin!

Sharing meals with family and friends is one of the true joys of the holiday season. We all have our favorite dishes, from Grandma’s secret recipe for the perfect turkey stuffing to Uncle David’s apple pie. This year, our friends at two of Concord’s most beloved places, Debra’s Natural Gourmet and Verrill Farm, are sharing recipes that are sure to become perennial favorites.

There's so much to do this fall, you won't want to miss a thing!
