Ralph Waldo Emerson’s house was built in 1828 and is currently a museum. Emerson moved into the home with his new bride, Lydia, on September 15, 1835 and lived there until he died in 1882. Henry David Thoreau lived in the home on two different occasions.
The Ralph Waldo Emerson House is a house museum located at 28 Cambridge Turnpike, Concord, Massachusetts, and a National Historic Landmark for its associations with American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. The museum is open mid-April to mid-October; an admission fee is charged.
