From the website LouisaMayAlcott.org – “Orchard House (c. 1650) is most noted for being where Louisa May Alcott wrote and set Little Women in 1868. This noble home also has a rich history stretching back two centuries beforehand, as well as more than 100 years of life as a treasured historic site open to the public.”

This is a fascinating landmark. The tour guides bring the place to life describing the living conditions of the day and the interaction with famous neighbors Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne. A Must See.
