As a die hard Little Women fan, it was so special to visit Alcott’s home with no one other than my first intro to her books, my mom. This place is just lovely. Every single staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Our tour guide, I believe their name was Hannah, was so so patient, beautifully passionate about the subject, and didn’t hesitate to answer questions. I love how the tour incorporates everything from Alcott’s history to the 2019 film adaptation. The exterior is also very picturesque and the gift shop is honestly worth the stop. A gift shop employee even helped my family and I with directions and locating the free Concord shuttle! This place met my expectations and transcended them. It’s also just a short, maybe fifteen minute walk to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Alcott is buried. Oh and PS: if you’re taking public transit from Boston, just catch the train into Concord, saves a lot of confusion :)

We enjoyed learning more about her and her family's life. It was much more interesting than we had ever hoped for. Very informative and Kiko was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

This house/museum is small but unexpectedly a wonderful experience. The tour begins with a fairly long video [maybe 15 minutes] in which an actress portrays Louisa May Alcott and tells us about her relationship with her sisters and some neat information about the house. The tour guide was excellent. She answered any and all questions, and clearly loves the house and the Alcott. She knew so many facts and anecdotes, and stayed speaking with a few of us after the tour was over. The best part of this visit was that almost all items in the house are original to the Alcotts, i.e. things actually used by them. Total tour time, if one doesn't stay to ask questions, is about an hour. No gardens to walk through. No photography inside the house. Small number of spaces directly in front of house. Nathaniel Hawthorne is right house next door.

I adored our tour guide, Thatcher! He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the house and the Alcott's. My only wish is that instead of watching a movie about the Alcott's and the house for 20 mins we instead were told history and fun fact from the guides as we walked around the house. Wish it was more interactive

In later life she summered in Nonquitt, MA, which is closer to Dartmouth than Duxbury.
What s treasure! Im sure there's someone out there that would be interested.
There are many places to stay in the area. I live fairly close and have only been able to drive from home. Concord, Mass is an historic town with I imagine has a number of very nice places.
The new Little Women movie has been showing in theatres nationwide (and internationally) since Christmastime. Please check local listings in your area to find out where and when you can see it. It will also be out on DVD in the Spring.
There is a tour and a film for one price, and a tour only for a lesser price..... I'm a senior and I had a 10 yr old child with me.... The tour only was beyond enough info for the child, she absorbed quite a bit of info.....I can't remember what I paid for both of us, but it was under $20..

If you love Little Women, you'll love this house! You get to see where she wrote it and the house looks exactly like a lot of the movie versions of the book! It's so interesting!!
