Franklin Pierce, 14th president of the United States, was speaker of the New Hampshire General Court (legislature) as well as one of Concord NH's prominent lawyers. His house, the Pierce Manse, at 77 Warren Street (map), is now a National Historic Site. The big house at the farthest reaches of North Main Street was Pierce's family home from 1842-1848, and was saved from demolition in the late 1900s by a civic-minded group named the Pierce Brigade. You might want to call and make an appointment to visit. It's open from mid-June to mid-September, Monday through Friday, 11 am to 3 pm; closed Labor Day. The
