Possibly no other house in Concord, MA has a greater variety of historic associations than The Old Manse. Built around 1770, it housed the Emerson family when "the shot heard 'round the world" rang out a few hundred yards away at the old north bridge, April 19, 1775. It served as home for the Emersons, Hawthornes, and Ripleys for nearly 170 years. Henry David Thoreau planted a garden as a wedding gift for Ralph Waldo and Sophia Emerson.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
Truly a wonderful shot of this historic home, and I'm wondering now if it's open to the public. It's close enough to me that I might put it on my roster of places to visit next summer. Always on the lookout for great shots in this area. :)

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
