The Old Manse

|
| A half mile from Monument Square, the Old Manse is one of Concord's most famous old houses. The engaging history of this home touches on the military and the literary, but it's mostly the story of a family. William Emerson built the Old Manse in 1770 and watched the Battle of Concord from the yard. Nathaniel Hawthorne and his bride, Sophia Peabody, moved in after their marriage in 1842 and stayed for 3 years. As a wedding present, Henry David Thoreau sowed a vegetable garden. |
