The basics

In addition to its political history, the landmark building also has a rich literary heritage, having been the home of both Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Plus, it served as a meeting ground for other Transcendentalists, including Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller.

Today, visitors can explore the well-preserved Georgian residence, and admire its original furnishings before wandering through the property’s vegetable gardens and orchards. Guided literary tours from Boston include The Old Manse on the itinerary. On-site tours are also offered, and are tailored around specific themes, including a focus on the women of The Old Manse, along with self-guided tours.
