Projected Re-Opening on August 1, 2021
ORCHARD HOUSE CONTINUES TO BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
Our projected re-opening is August 1st. Updates will be posted here as they arise. Access to our gardens and grounds remains free and available to all.
During this unsettling time, we hope you and your families are safe and healthy.
We miss you -- and, have noticed literally hundreds of you still stopping by Orchard House since our March 13th closure to enjoy our grounds and peer through the windows! We wish we could invite you all inside the House right now, but we’ve created what we hope is a special “virtual treat” instead.
Via the magic of video, experience Orchard House with --
All this for only $10 -- less than the cost of a guided tour!
Videos with 48-hour access are available at Vimeo On Demand. Tour admission is limited to one per rental, with no expiration date -- simply present your payment confirmation email at our Admission Desk after we re-open. By purchasing this "virtual visit bundle" now, you also help to sustain our private 501(c)(3) non-profit, for which we are most grateful!
The Alcotts’ response to the challenges of the Civil War era remind us that we can persevere through dangerous times and emerge with renewed strength born of compassion, grace, and a dose of grit! We hope these virtual glimpses into the home of the Alcotts provide an uplifting experience for you, and thank you for your interest in and support of Orchard House.
We look forward to seeing you here as soon as it is safe to do so. Please keep checking our website and social media posts for updates about our re-opening.
With gratitude and affection,
Jan Turnquist, Executive Director
Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House
