루이자 메이 올컷의 과수원집
See the striking, peaceful home with its wooded garden, a suitable spot for a novelist who stirred the imaginations of millions.

Peer from the windows of Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House and gaze along the atmospheric halls that proved the perfect inspiration for a young writer. Admire the immaculately preserved interior and stand beside the desk where Louisa May Alcott created Little Women.

Far from being an extravagant manor, this modest timber dwelling was selected by Louisa’s father Amos Bronson Alcott in 1858 after his family had moved 22 times in just under 30 years. An educator and man of letters himself, Alcott had no idea that his new home would provide the setting for one of the best-loved novels of the 19th century.

Walk up the narrow gravel path that winds through grounds of high ferns and hanging branches and arrive at the small, wooden door and step inside. Those familiar with the book will feel themselves thrust into the pages of the novel, with around 80 percent of the furnishings still intact from the time Little Women was written.

Amble through the kitchen to view the traditional soapstone sink and drying rack made by Amos. The dining room is decorated with the family’s finest china as well as portraits of Louisa and her sister Elizabeth adorning the walls. Be sure to venture to the parlor where busts of Plato and Socrates are displayed near paintings of Mr. and Mrs. Alcott.

Continue upstairs to marvel at rare family photographs and handwoven quilts in the parents’ bedroom before you visit Louisa’s own room. Notice the abundant cupboards and shelves stacked high with favorite books and the pretty half-moon desk set against a wall between two grand, rectangular windows. This is where Louisa spent many hours concocting the plot and characters of Little Women.

Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House is just a 2-minute drive east from Concord on Lexington Road. The house is open year-round with admission by guided tour only. Visit the gift shop that stocks a range of books and other souvenirs.
