12 Open for the Season: The "Art of Baseball"
Around the same time Fenway opens this season, the Concord Museum will feature a new
exhibit of baseball art – 45 unique pieces in all – under the honorary curatorship of
presidential historian, baseball aficionado, and Concord resident Doris Kearns Goodwin.
It's an appropriate show for the museum, says our writer Steve Mass, because "baseball is
as much about American history as the Old North Bridge."
22 A Taste of Freedom: Deep within the confines of a state prison
in Concord, a culinary surprise awaits
For pocket change you can visit the Fife and Drum restaurant at the Northeastern
Correctional Center and enjoy a homemade lunch. We look at this unique culinary arts
program that gives minimum-security inmates valuable work experience and – more
importantly — a second chance.
