Orchard House is the former home of author Louisa May Alcott and her family.

Today, an amazing 75 percent of the furnishings in Orchard House are the Alcotts', so it remains almost exactly like it was when they lived there. Louisa became one of America's best- loved authors, and it was in this house that she penned Little Women.
