Calling All Woodland Fairies and Gnomes! The Fruitlands Fairy Forest is back!While living at Fruitlands, 10-year-old Louisa May Alcott wrote in her diary that she “had a lovely time in the woods with Anna and Lizzie. We were fairies, and made gowns and paper wings. I ‘flied’ the highest of all.”
Don your wings, grab your crowns, and come play in the Fruitlands woods as Louisa and her sisters once played. We encourage all visitors to our grounds and trails to build fairy and gnome houses around the Willard Archeological site along the yellow trail at Fruitlands Museum. Collect natural materials and build a house for the Fruitlands fairies and gnomes then leave your house for the sprites to enjoy and other guests to see as the fairy forest grows.
Fairy Forest visitors should be aware that due to wet conditions, some trails may be waterlogged or muddy. Please dress appropriately for the hiking loop.
Register online to receive a digital DIY Fruitlands Fairy Forest Activity Kit (including map, fairy wand craft tutorial, and more) prior to your visit. Be sure to scroll through your confirmation email below the tickets for visitor info and the Google Drive link to your Activity Kit.
The Fruitlands Trails are open everyday from dawn til dusk, and the Fairy Forest Village will be open daily from September 3 through October 4.
The Fairy Forest does not include admission to the museum. Information on Museum admission is located here.
