About The Hall

The Concord Scout House is a well-maintained historic building in the center of Concord, Massachusetts, within walking distance to many of Concord's famous local attractions. The white clapboard building is set back from the street, down a long driveway flanked by tall pines, making for a lovely entrance into the Great Hall.

The large wooden dance floor is 40 feet by 70 feet, with a stage at one end and a working stone fireplace on one side. The ceiling reaches a height of approximately 30 feet at its peak. Six foot high wainscotting with coat pegs and seven enormous windows line the walls. Above the natural wood wainscotting, the walls and ceiling are white, with unfinished beams as visible accents.

The stage measures 20 feet wide by 15 feet deep and has curtains and side rooms. One can access the stage either from these side rooms, which lead to the rear upstage area, or from movable apron stairs. The piano, which is owned by one of our dance user groups, can be rented for events.

Off the center foyer, there is a moderately-sized kitchen on one side and restrooms on the other. The beautiful double front doors open out to a nice view of the tree-lined drive.

The hall has a maximum standing capacity of 300 for contra dances and seats 150 comfortably for other events. We have 18 collapsible banquet tables and more than enough wooden double chairs, or you may decide to rent your own tables and chairs. There is suitable lighting for both day and evening events.

The large windows provide plentiful natural lighting for daytime events, and reflect light and evening tones beautifully.
