Museum of Freedom

The Museum of Freedom is a building within Concord in 2287.

Background
The Museum of Freedom is a history museum dedicated to American conflicts, such as the American Revolution. At one point, an exhibit on the Battle of Anchorage was planned, but ultimately cancelled due to a limited budget. When the Great War occurred, most of the staff fled the museum, with the exception of Megan Hayes. A Vertibird also crashed on the roof as a result of an EMP, with the surviving soldiers abandoning the wreck and a suit of power armor.

In 2287, a group of wastelanders led by Preston Garvey were travelling through Concord when they were attacked by a group of raiders led by Gristle. The wastelanders had no choice but to take shelter within the Museum of Freedom.

Layout
The Sole Survivor enters the building through the first floor. The first floor is divided in half by a wall, requiring travelling through the mannequin-filled American Revolution display or picking an Advanced lock to get through to the other side. On the second half of the first floor, there is a large hole and a staircase leading to the basement, where the fusion core can be found. There is also a large staircase leading to the second floor.

The second floor begins with open walkways, where raiders are in a shootout against Preston. Going through a doorway will lead to an enclosed hallway, including two raiders standing by the large mural. Past them is the stairwell leading to the third floor, where two raiders are attempting to get into the room that Preston and company is barricaded in. After a brief conversation, the raiders will give up on the door and head towards the stairwell. Through the group's room is a roof access, leading to the power armor, a minigun, and a place to jump off the roof and back onto the street below.
