I love history. I didnt go inside but I enjoyed the thought of and having the honor of being able to stand on a piece of land that once belonged to the only U.S. presidents from N.H.

Exactly what is promised. The staff is very knowledgeable and the tour is well worth the price. Its a little basic if you know a lot about the time-period, but its cool to get a different perspective on the president. Lovely setting on Horseshoe Lake. Air conditioned, which is also nice.

The Franklin Pierce Manse is the historically significant home of the 14th President of the United States, Franklin Pierce. Set on a side street in Concord, NH, it is easily accessible. The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their mission of keeping alive the memory of Franklin Pierce and his family. My guide was extraordinary at painting the former president and his family as fully dimensional people. The successes of the Pierce administration were highlighted, such as the Gadsden Purchase and improved relations with Great Britain and Canada. Less was said of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and its aftermath. Pierces strict interpretation of the Constitution and his firmly held beliefs in States Rights during his presidency began the inexorable march of the nation toward the Civil War. It is a credit to the staff and guides that after a tour of the Manse one has the impetus to delve further into the life and presidency of Franklin Pierce.
