The Old Manse Home Of Hawthorne
"The dear Old Manse, with the little study on its western side and the sunshine glimmering thro' the willow branches while I wrote." - Mosses from an Old Manse. In 1842, after having sojourned at Brook Farm, Hawthorne took his bride to the Old Manse at Concord, Mass., and set up housekeeping. The Old Manse was built in 1765 by Emerson's grandfather, and up to the time it became the home of Hawthorne it had always been occupied as a parsonage. It was while he lived in this house that Hawthorne wrote that delightful book, "Mosses from an Old Manse." He did not own the place, however, and lived here only three years. A series of twelve little journeys to the birthplaces and homes of famous Americans. |
