Robbins House (Concord, Massachusetts)

View of the Robbins House

The Robbins House is a historic house museum in Concord, Massachusetts, which focuses on interpreting the early African American history of Concord and the Northeast.

The Robbins House was built in the early 1820s as a two-room, two-family farmhouse for two grown children of Revolutionary War veteran Caesar Robbins and their families. Originally located in an isolated field on the outskirts of town, it was the childhood home of Caesar Robbins' granddaughter Ellen Garrison Jackson Clark, one of the first people to legally test the 1866 Civil Rights Act.[1][2]

In 2010, the house was saved from demolition. It was relocated to its present location and restored,[3] and it opened as a museum in 2011.
