Family Trees

Concord's renowned literary tradition takes a creative twist during the holiday season when the Concord Museum opens the annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children's Literature. A benefit exhibition with related programs, Family Trees fills the Museum's history galleries and period rooms with trees of all shapes and sizes fancifully dressed for the occasion with charming original ornaments inspired by a dazzling selection of children's picture books.

The Children's Meetinghouse tree, based on Freight Train by Donald Crews, was a collaboration of decorators including children and families from the present, alumni families and Middlesex School Students. The Children's Meetinghouse in Concord is a non-profit infant, toddler and preschool program, affiliated with Middlesex School and is celebrating its 25th year.
