The original building dates back to colonial days when it housed a gristmill and stored troves of ammunition in its basement during the Revolutionary War.
Hiding ammunition was typical of Concordians as British soldiers burned captured supplies in 1775, according to the Concord Museum.
One of the buildings now Main Streets Market & Cafe at 42 Main St., owned by Dave and Karen Anderson and in the Anderson family for over 125 years may hold one of those hidden troves. And possibly more.
Gristmill stones are part of the building s foundation. The stones face east under the building and underneath the sidewalk in Concord Center.
