The Concord Historical Society was created to promote public awareness, understanding, and appreciation for Concord, New Hampshire's history and traditions through educational programs; discovering, collecting and preserving material related to Concord's history; serving as a clearing house for other organizations concerned with Concord's history; and advocating for the preservation of historic material and properties in Concord.

Established in 2003 as a not-for-profit organization, the Concord Historical Society plans such activities as:

1. Public programs on Concord's history
2. Exhibits documenting Concord's history
3. Guided field trips to historic sites
