Fans of "Little Women" author Louisa May Alcott will love this wonderfully preserved home where she was raised. You can really correlate her life to her depiction of the "March Sisters" when you tour the house.

Loved visiting the house of the Little Women author. I could just picture Louisa at the small desk by the window in the upstairs room where she did her writing. Knowledgeable tour guides helped bring to life the Alcott family, their struggles and triumphs.
