Join us at the Concord Museum for the 27th Anniversary of Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature! Be a part of the story.

27th Annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature begins on November 23, 2022 through January 2, 2023! Concord’s literary legacy is given a creative twist as 34 trees and wreaths of all shapes and sizes are decorated with charm and inspiration from acclaimed children’s books.

Award-winning author and naturalist, Sy Montgomery, serves as the Honorary Chair of the 27th Annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature.

Her recently published children’s book Becoming a Good Creature is featured in this year’s celebration.

One of the most celebrated writers of our time, Sy has been awarded the Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award for her contributions to children’s literature and has been a finalist for the National Book Award and an international bestseller for her work in adult nonfiction.

Organized by the Concord Museum’s Guild of Volunteers as a benefit for the Museum’s education initiatives; Family Trees Chair: Pam Nelson.

wonderful traditional event

Trees decorated to the themes of children's storybooks. Get a list of the featured books ahead of time and kids will find their favorite stories creatively reflected on tree decor.

Not Really For Children

We went over there some time ago, very small place with few things for children, rather it's local residents who are more interested in the town's literature history.
