Orchard House

Immortalized by Louisa May Alcott in the beloved 1868 classic, Little Women, Orchard House provides heartwarming accounts of the talented Alcott family’s legacy through lively guided tours, unique educational programs, and special living history events year-round.  Orchard House also played an integral role in the development of the only truly American philosophy, Transcendentalism, and is one of the oldest historic sites in the country. In addition, A. Bronson Alcott’s School of Philosophy, on the grounds of Orchard House since 1879, was one of the most successful 19th C. adult education centers in the country.  Museum Store on premises
