What to expect

Orchard House is a historic house museum that was the longtime home of Amos Bronson Alcott and his family, including his daughter Louisa May Alcott, who wrote and set her novel Little Women there. The house offers guided tours, educational programs, and special events, and is a great place for families to visit and learn about the Alcott family's legacy and the history of the house. The house also features a museum store and is adjacent to The Wayside, another historic house. Families can enjoy activities such as writing, reading, and reflecting in Louisa's room, and kids can participate in camps and programs inspired by the March family and their fictional friends and neighbors from Little Women
