SUMMARY:Patriots’ Day Open House
DESCRIPTION:Witness a Revolution! Stop by the Old Manse on Monday\, April 17th\, 2023 as Concord celebrates Patriots’ Day and the start of the Revolutionary War. On the morning of April 19th\, 1775\, Phebe Bliss Emerson looked out the windows of her home and witnessed the battle of Concord unfold only a few hundred yards away. Explore her home and the home of her family and see the view that she would have seen as Concord celebrates Patriots’ Day. \nSpecial for the occasion\, the Manse will be having an open house from 7:30AM to 2:00PM. Guides will be stationed in the rooms of the house to answer any questions as you explore at your own pace.

SUMMARY:American Contradictions: Slavery and the American Revolution at the Old Manse
DESCRIPTION:Many who fought for liberty and independence from Great Britain also enslaved other people – a contradiction that is at the heart of the American Revolution. At the Old Manse\, we see this contradiction embodied in the life of William Emerson\, “Patriot Preacher” and slave holder. We also see it deeply impacting the lives of Cate\, Phyllis\, and Frank\, three people enslaved by the Bliss-Emerson family. In this tour\, the stories of the Old Manse at the time of the American Revolution serve to tell a broader story of American freedom and enslavement. \nSpace on this tour is limited and pre-registration is recommended to secure your spot.
