The Old Manse is a Georgian clapboard house built in 1770 on the banks of the Concord River in Concord, Massachusetts. Constructed for patriot minister William Emerson, the upstairs overlooks North Bridge, where the Battles of Lexington and Concord (marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War) took place. Later, the home was a source of literary inspiration for writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Advance booking is recommended for a tour of the home. The grounds are accessible for free year round.
