Old Manse was built in 1770 for patriot minister William Emerson, who died during the American Revolution. The house became home to his son Ralph Emerson and later Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The North Bridge is also in the backyard, and this is where the fighting for the American Revolution began. Mrs. Emerson watched the battle from her upstairs bedroom

Henry David Thoreau built a very small cabin next to Walden Pond where he spent some time writing
The cabin no longer exists but only stone remnants
