Park & Ride Field, Portsmouth, NH 03801, USA

February 19 - Concord Museum, Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House, Concord MA - Lunch @ Colonial Inn
8:00am-5:00pm

$20/$25

Concord, MA is steeped in history. We’ll first stop at the Concord Museum to see exhibits about Concord & Lexington’s role in the Revolutionary War and what came after that fateful battle. After the museum we’ll head to lunch at the historic Colonial Inn, which has been in operation since 1716. Next we’ll be heading to Orchard House, most noted for being where Louisa May Alcott wrote and set her beloved classic, Little Women, in 1868. Since approximately 80% of the furnishings on display were owned by the Alcotts, the rooms look very much as they did when the family lived here!
