LOWELL, MA – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan announced $400,000 in grant funding for the Concord Museum located in Concord, Massachusetts. This funding comes from the National Endowment for the Humanities and will be under the direction of Tom Putnam, Concord Museum’s Edward W. Kane Executive Director. “I am thrilled that the Concord Museum has been awarded this exhibition funding, which will help to expand exhibits in their recently renovated galleries. The museum is a treasure for so many people, young and old, who come to Concord to learn about our role in the birth of our nation. I can’t wait to return to the Museum with my children and see the new collections made possible by this valuable federal investment in the humanities,” said Congresswoman Lori Trahan. “As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of 'the shot heard round the world,' the Concord Museum is honored to receive a $400,000 Public Humanities grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to help us re-design and install new permanent exhibits in our recently renovated galleries. Working with a diverse group of humanities scholars and two nationally-recognized exhibit and media design companies, our talented curatorial team is thrilled to have this opportunity to re-imagine how we best convey the unique role Concord has played in our national story to diverse new audiences,” said Tom Putnam, Concord Museum’s Edward W. Kane Executive Director.
