The Hibbard homestead stands in a rural area of Concord, at the northern end of Woodland Road.

The farmhouse is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, reproduction period clapboard siding, and a dressed granite foundation. The building corners have narrow carved pilasters, and the cornice features finely detailed hand-carved woodwork. The main facade is five bays wide, with the entrance at the center. It has an elaborate surround, with sidelight windows flanked by pilasters, and a corniced header with elaborate carved woodwork fastened by either wooden pegs or hand-cut nails. An older (c. 1805) ell extends to the rear of the main block. The interior retains many original carved wooden finish elements. [2]
David Hibbard, Jr. was the son of one of Concord's first settlers. He acquired this land in the early 19th century, building what was little more than a log cabin on it about 1805.

Hibbard was a self-taught lawyer and farmer, and succeeded his father as one of the town's leading citizens. The property was sold out of the Hibbard family in the late 1850s. [2]
