In today’s episode, we welcome Jen Turner, the Executive Director of the Robbins House Museum in Concord, Massachusetts. This historical house museum, situated today at the Minuteman National Park, is the hub of Concord’s African-American history. Through our conversation with Jen, we expand our understanding of Concord’s past and the experience of slavery survivors and free Black people who were part of the Alcotts’ world.
The Robbins House is a Concord-based nonprofit organization focused on raising awareness of Concord’s African, African American, and antislavery history from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Their mission is to reveal the little known African American history of Concord and its regional and national importance. Their vision is to inspire conversation, expand understanding and contribute to a better society.
Jen takes us on a deep dive into the lives of the family who owned this house and the work the museum does to remember them, giving us a richer, more complete picture of the Concord that the Alcotts knew.
