Exhibition Opening - A Special Place to Live: Conantum at 75
Please join us on October 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM for the opening of the William Munroe Special Collections exhibition, "A Special Place to Live: Conantum at 75." This exhibition celebrates the first large-scale neighborhood development in Concord, Conantum, and its unique architecture and community. In his presentation, "Conantum: From Conception to Maturity," Architect Henry Moss will speak on the story of Conantum's origin and early development, which is interwoven with young families' emergence into a post-war world, a new approach to architecture and construction, and an alternative vision for housing in natural settings.
