Emerson Barn Virtual Tour

Welcome to the Emerson family barn! In partnership with the Concord Museum, we invite you to take a virtual tour of the barn behind the Ralph Waldo Emerson House in Concord, Massachusetts with architectural historian, Anne Forbes; Concord Museum Curator, David Wood; and Bay Emerson Bancroft of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association.

See the hidden details of this historic barn—built in 1828 and newly reopened after a comprehensive nine-month restoration project—and learn about its role in the everyday lives of the Emersons.

The recorded tour has a runtime of 40 minutes and can be viewed via the Concord Museum’s website or directly from this page.
