The Concord Visitor Center
Conveniently located in the heart of Concord’s historic downtown in Todos Santos Plaza, the Concord Visitor Center is open and ready to welcome guests.
In collaboration with the Concord Arts Association, Concord Historical Society, East Bay Regional Parks and Mt. Diablo State Park, the Visitor Center offers visual displays, printed materials and merchandise throughout the facility.
Visitor Center features:
Concord History
The Concord Historical Society provided the Center with a complete series of historic photographs that illustrate Concord’s growth and development over the years. The collection fills up an entire wall with a visual depiction of the city’s unique history from mid-1800s through modern times. Our collaboration with CHS has also led to the new audio version of their historical walking tour (available now,) plus a brand-new walking tour map coming soon.
Green Map
Visit Concord’s fun, larger-than-life wall art map of Concord hangs above our meeting space.

Garden
Just outside the large window wall in the center’s meeting area, is a tranquil, tree-shaded garden area that allows a bit of nature to infiltrate the office space.

A new garden wall mural is also currently in the works, courtesy of our friends at the Concord Art Association.
