Episode 10
Wright Tavern has been at the center of Concord for 275 years. It hosted some of the most dramatic events in American history. The Massachusetts Provincial Congress's committees met here in the Fall of 1774, beginning the colony's transition from colony to commonwealth. On morning of April 19, 1775, both the Concord militia and the British military command met--separately--at the tavern to plot their interactions with each other. Tom Wilson of the Wright Tavern Legacy Trust joins us to discuss their work to restore this historic building to its 1774-1775 appearance, and the role Wright Tavern has played in Concord, and the nation's, history.
