In the common room of a modest, brownhouse in Concord, Massachusetts, lies the story of Caesar Robbins. He was born enslaved in 1745 in nearby Chelmsford, Massachusetts. And when the Revolutionary War broke out a few decades later, he became one of the area’s Black soldiers fighting for the American cause. The scant records of the time indicate he may have fought at the Old North Bridge during the Battle of Concord, just a quarter mile from where this small home was later built.
