Modern History
After Margaret Sidney's death in 1924, the home was inherited by her daughter; she opened the home to the public in 1927. The home stayed in the family until 1965.
In 1963, The Wayside was designated a National Historic Landmark, and became part of Minute Man National Historical Park on June 15, 1965. This designation came with the aid of the Lothrop's daughter Margaret, and it became the first literary site to be acquired by the National Park Service. It is open to the public seasonally for guided tours. Its address is 455 Lexington Road in Concord.
