Concord Museum welcomes new director Amanda Lahikainen at 250th forum
Summary
Amanda Lahikainen, the new Edward W. Kane executive director of the Concord Museum, opened a 250th-anniversary forum and introduced historian Jill Lepore and moderator Ryan Hanley before a program reflecting on the Constitution's history.
Amanda Lahikainen opened the program by introducing herself and the museum's new series tied to the 250th anniversary of American independence. “My name is Amanda Lahikainen, and I am the new Edward W. Kane executive director of the Concord Museum,” she said, thanking funders including the Sally Lanigan Fund and Mass Humanities and recognizing donors Claire and Joshua Nelson.
