The Old Manse is a historic house in Concord built in 1770 that served as home to Ralph Waldo Emerson's grandfather and later to Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote "Mosses from an Old Manse" here. Located near the North Bridge where the Revolutionary War's opening battle took place, the site is managed by The Trustees and offers a glimpse into both the literary and Revolutionary heritage of Concord.
