If the Walls Could
Speak
Since about 1686, a well-known country
farmhouse has stood in Concord, Massachusetts. Its walls once echoed the
sounds of the American Revolution. Its door once opened to admit some of
the nation’s greatest minds: Winthrop, Emerson, Thoreau, and Melville.
Now, it’s your turn to step inside. Can you guess who built the tower onto
the house, complete with a “sky parlor” as his study?
