In Concord’s center, there is an iconic red building. Having stood for almost 300 years, the Wright Tavern is ready to receive visitors again. Having been closed to the public for more than 30 years, it is now reopening to welcome visitors and rekindle the spirit of taverns as unique places of civic engagement.
After the smoke cleared, the drums ceased, and the United States was founded, life in Concord started returning to a new normal. The Wright Tavern, built and opened in 1747, still operated as an inn and tavern, but conversations inside the tavern were now more about farming, prices, and town gossip.
