Pierce Manse

The Pierce Manse in Concord, New Hampshire, is the historic home of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. This modest Greek Revival-style house offers visitors a glimpse into mid-19th century life and the personal history of President Pierce. The museum provides guided tours that cover the Pierce family's time in the house and Franklin Pierce's political career.

Visitors generally appreciate the well-preserved nature of the house and its period furnishings, which help to create an authentic atmosphere. The knowledgeable tour guides are often praised for their engaging presentations and ability to provide context about Pierce's presidency and the era in which he lived.

However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and the tour can be brief, which may leave those expecting a more extensive experience wanting more. Additionally, as Franklin Pierce is not one of the more well-known presidents, some visitors find the content less engaging than other presidential sites.

The museum's location in historic Concord is convenient for those interested in exploring other nearby historical sites. While it may not be a top destination for all tourists, it is generally considered worthwhile for history enthusiasts and those interested in learning about a lesser-known chapter of American presidential history.
