Did you know it is Giving Tuesday? Will you take a moment and donate to The Robbins House today?

Every day of our museum season, visitors to The Robbins House discover new perspectives on local and national history and hold vital conversations on issues still facing America today. As a prominent African American historic site, we are singularly positioned to foster broader education and discussion related to diversity and equity, in Concord and beyond.

As The Robbins House begins planning for Concord’s 250th celebrations with new exhibits and educational programming for 2025, we hope on this Giving Tuesday that you will support us in our ongoing work to preserve and promote African American history that stirs conversation and expands understanding of the history of Concord and the region.

Please visit our website at www.robbinshouse.org to donate.

We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and are very grateful for your continued support.
