SUMMARY:15th Anniversary: The Robbins House Move
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we mark the 15th anniversary of a milestone moment in Concord’s history—the relocation of the Robinson/Garrison family home to its current site and the opening of The Robbins House museum. The program includes a conversation with those who played a key role in the relocation\, offering firsthand perspectives and stories from this important moment in the site’s history\, as well as a special appearance by the Concord Minute Men. \nOriginally built in the early 1820s\, the house was home to members of the Robbins and Garrison families\, descendants of formerly enslaved people who established lives rooted in independence\, land ownership\, and community. After standing for decades at a different location\, the house was saved from demolition in 2010 and carefully moved to Monument Street\, where it was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 2011.
