Ralph Waldo Emerson's grandfather Reverend William built this two story, two chimney house around 1770. It is located next to the North Bridge, where the Colonials first engaged the British in the first battle of the American Revolution. The young essayist and author spent some of his youth here and wrote the essay "Nature" and the "Concord Hymn" in the study.
