Ralph Waldo Emerson House
Ralph Waldo Emerson House, Historic house museum in Concord, Massachusetts, United States.
The white wooden New England house contains two floors with square rooms on each side of a central hall and features period furnishings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson purchased this residence for 3,500 dollars in 1835 and lived there until his death in 1882, writing numerous essays within its walls.
The residence served as a meeting place for the Transcendental Club, hosting intellectuals including Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and the Alcott family.
The property maintains its original layout from 1873, except for Emerson's study contents, which are now displayed at the Concord Museum across the street.
Emerson expanded the property from two to nine acres and planted numerous trees, including 128 fruit trees in 1847 to create an extensive orchard.
