History Walking Tours with ASL interpretation
2026-04-24 13:00 - 14:30 | Concord Visitor Center, Concord Visitor Center, 58 Main St, Concord, MA, 01742, United States
Concord Launches American Sign Language–Interpreted Tours Making Historic Experiences Fully Accessible for Deaf Travelers
Concord is proud to announce the launch of American Sign Language (ASL)–interpreted tours of Concord’s key historic sites, led by licensed local guides and professional interpreters. These accessible private walking tours ensure Deaf visitors can fully engage with Concord’s revolutionary and literary heritage.
About the Tours
Daily Historic Walking Tour (1 p.m.): Select days, with the first ASL Tour on Friday, July 18, 1 p.m. Stroll through downtown Concord, exploring the Milldam, Monument Square, and Old Hill Burial Ground with ASL support
Private or Small-Group Tours: Tailored itineraries include slower pacing, frequent Q&A, and accessible route options. Flexibility ensures comfort and engagement for Deaf participants
ASL Tour Guide Stephanie Dodge Stephanie Dodge, a nationally certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter with over a decade of experience working in educational, cultural, and public settings, says “ASL‑interpreted tours enable Deaf visitors to not just see and hear Concord’s story—but to feel it. When interpretation is done thoughtfully, every question, nuance, and detail comes alive.”
Why ASL Interpretation Matters Sign language interpretation is crucial for Deaf individuals to fully participate in travel experiences—allowing them to understand historical information, ask questions, and communicate effectively with tour guides, staff, and other travelers. A professionally certified interpreter ensures accuracy and cultural sensitivity, making these tours fully inclusive. Recent studies show approximately 11 million Americans identify as Deaf or hard of hearing—about 3% of the population—and over 300,000 school‑aged Deaf and hard‑of‑hearing children attend U.S. schools. These figures underscore the importance of accessible cultural and educational programming.
How to Book Visit Concord’s Visitor Center at 58 Main Street (open online or by appointment year-round) to book ASL-interpreted tours. Private or group tours can be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.
About Concord Visitor Center As the gateway to Concord’s rich Revolutionary and literary legacy, Concord Visitor Center offers daily walking tours, private group excursions, and special events like “Women of Concord,” “Patriots of Color,” and Indigenous history tours. The recent introduction of ASL-interpreted tours aligns with its mission to ensure historic storytelling is accessible to all.
