Spirits of the Old Manse

Experience Spirits of the Old Manse: A Candlelit Encounter with the Past—a guided, after-dark journey through one of Concord MA’s most historic and emotionally resonant homes.

This is not a haunted house, but an intimate storytelling experience that brings to life the lives and legacies of Revolutionaries, writers, and ministers who once lived here. Guided by candlelight, you’ll explore rooms filled with original etchings, journals, and hidden stories, including the very attic where sermons were practiced and names carved into beams.

New this year: a fully guided format that deepens the emotional connection to the house’s layered history. Best suited for ages 10+.

Please note, space is limited. Register in advance for your tour time to secure your spot!
