Across Maple Avenue from the Norfolk Library is the parsonage of Rev. Ralph Emerson, who was pastor of Norfolk’s Congregational Church from 1816 until 1829, when he left to become professor of Ecclesiastical History at Andover Theological Seminary. The house was originally built in 1806 by Michael F. Mills, a lawyer, Justice of the Peace and Representative in the General Assembly.
