|
| Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts was purchased by the Transcendentalist philosopher and teacher Amos Bronson Alcott in 1857 for his family, Abigail May and their daughters Anna, Louisa, Elizabeth and May. It was here in 1868 that Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women, as well as numerous other books, short stories and poems. It was a gathering place for many of the intellectuals of Concord and Boston, as well as the world. It was here that Bronson, a writer himself, founded the Concord Summer School of Philosophy in 1879. |
