The Old Manse |
|
|
Built in 1769 by Reverend William Emerson, this house next to Old North Bridge was lived in by the Emerson family for 169 years except for a three-year period when writer Nathaniel Hawthorne and his bride Sophia rented it. |

|
A half mile (less than 1 km) from Monument Square, the Old Manse (tel 978-369-3909) is one of Concord's most famous old houses. Hawthorne's residence here gave him material for several later stories. The house today is filled with the spirit and the mementoes of Nathaniel and Sophia's short stay, and those of the Emerson clan. Admission includes a guided tour. |
