Site #24 on African American and Abolitionist Heritage Tour in Concord
About: This opulent mansion (manse, commonly referred to a Cleric’s house and land) was built by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s grandfather, the Reverend William Emerson, Concord’s patriot minister during the early stages of the Revolution. William owned at least one man, Frank, and shared several women with his mother-in-law, widow of the town’s previous minister. The Manse was later home to abolitionist ministers in the Ripley Family.
