The Robbins House is a Concord, Mass.-based nonprofit organization focused on revealing the little known African American history of Concord and its regional and national importance. Articles about the Robbins House, its history and the personalities associated with that history, along with events currently taking place at the Robbins House, will appear from time to time in the Concord Journal.
