Membership in "Friends of the Alcotts" offers the opportunity to participate in the life of Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House through unique, lively educational programs, special events, and volunteer activities.

BASIC BENEFITS provide:

Free admission to regular guided tours for one year
10% discount on Museum Store purchases or mail orders
Advance notice of/discounts on public programs, including the Annual Holiday Program and the Summer Conversational Series & Teacher Workshop
Invitations/Discounts to "Members Only" events

Please note that beginning in 2018, Orchard House implemented a "paperless membership system" and no longer mails printed cards and newsletter in an effort to conserve natural and human resources. All member benefits are active once payment is received, so you need only have your status verified by our Staff when you visit or place a mail order. Join or Renew today!
