About 1780 House
1780 House is a restored historic home in Concord, Massachusetts, now serving as both an art gallery, creative studio, and intimate event space. Built in 1780 and once home to the Thoreau family, the house combines the character and warmth of a private home with luxury modern amenities.
The gallery features rotating exhibitions of modern and fine art, with a focus on nature, place, and abstraction. The venue hosts private dinners, creative gatherings, and celebrations in a warm, elegant setting.
At 1780 House, art, culture, and community come together under one historic roof.
About the Owners
1780 House is owned by a Concord couple with four kids and a shared obsession with old houses, great design, and creative work. We spent three years restoring this place from the ground up—doing all the design work ourselves. It was a passion project in the truest sense: a chance to save what was original and beautiful about the building and reimagine the rest to be modern, functional, and inspiring.
The goal was simple: create something beautiful. And make it a space that feels alive and connected to the town we love. Whether you’re here for the art, an event, or just passing through, we hope you feel inspired and welcome when you walk through the door.
“Our goal was never to create an art gallery alone. What drew us to this project was the possibility of creating more than that. A building with a history as rich as this needs to be used and shared. In addition to enjoying art, our hope is that the building becomes a place where community and creativity thrive.”
