Old Manse

This home was built in 1770 by the grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who spent some of his boyhood at the home. Nathaniel Hawthorne occupied the house 1842-45 and gave the house its name. His "Mosses from an Old Manse" was written in the study.

The home contains 18th and 19th century American furniture that belonged to the Emerson-Ripley family.
