Wright's Tavern stands near Concord's town centre, a plain eighteenth-century building with a larger role than its modest frontage suggests. In April 1775 it was one of the places where local militia and British officers crossed paths before the fighting at the North Bridge, making it part of the landscape of the first day of the American Revolution.
The tavern is best understood as one stop in a walk through Concord rather than as a standalone museum. Pair it with the First Parish, the town common, the Concord Museum, and the route toward the Old North Bridge, and the geography of the day begins to make sense in a compact, walkable way.
