THE EMERSON HOUSE, CONCORD
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who built this square white house and planted the pines around it, lived here from 1835 until his death in 1882. During his European tour, Thoreau lived in the house. Emerson was a strong influence in drawing other writers to Concord, and a long succession of visitors to his doorstep. His study has been moved intact, with its books and pictures and furniture, to the fireproof quarters of the Antiquarian House across the way. The other rooms remain much as they were in Emerson’s day.
