The Marshall Homestead

Located at 379 Pleasant St. Tewkbury, Massachusetts, the Marshall Home is the oldest house still standing. Built in 1728, the Marshall home now stands, beautifully restored on the Marshall Brook Farm development.  

"...the historic Thomas Marshall Homestead, which was built in 1728, making it the oldest standing home in Tewksbury. Until recently, it had been occupied by generations of Marshall family members, since they first settled the property in the early 1700’s. Believed to be one of the first settlers of Tewksbury, which at the time was part of Billerica. The primary use of the land was farming. At one time the family had several hundred acres with crops and live stock. Currently the home is planned to be renovated and then sold."- Marc P. Ginsburg & Sons, Inc.

 The Old Manse

Built in 1770 for patriot minister William Emerson, The Old Manse, a National Historic Landmark, became the center of Concord’s political, literary, and social revolutions over the course of the next century. In the mid-19th-century, leading Transcendentalists such as Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller discussed the issues of the day here, with the Hawthorne and Ripley families.
A handsome Georgian clapboard building, The Old Manse sits near the banks of the Concord River among rolling fields edged by centuries-old stone walls and graced by an orchard. From upstairs, you can look out over the North Bridge, where the famous battle of April 19, 1775, took place.

The Caesar Robbins House

The Robbins House is a home built by the son of slavery survivor and Revolutionary War veteran Caesar Robbins in the early 1800s. This house was originally located on a small farm at the edge of Concord’s Great Meadows, in an area where a handful of self-emancipated Africans and their families established their homes. The last African American occupants left the house in the 1860s, and in the winter of 1870-71 the building was moved to Bedford St. In 2011 the Drinking Gourd Project moved the house to land adjacent to the North Bridge parking lot, where it is prominently displayed for Concord visitors. It will serve as an interpretive center for Concord’s early African history.
