Monumental (Re)Make at the Concord Free Public Library
As part of the Concord 250 celebration, the Workshop at the Concord Free Public Library is collaborating with Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney to reproduce a scale model of Daniel Chester French's statue The Minute Man! The Monumental (Re)Make project utilizes community 3D printing and construction processes to foster group making and highlight Concord’s rich history. Makers and families of all ages are invited to visit the Workshop during Open Maker Hours to 3D print a part of The Minute Man. The Minute Man is a great project for beginners!
