It was a room with a tall ceiling, a fireplace, a desk near the window, and a lot of May’s drawings (There was an owl drawn by Anna to comfort and encourage Louisa while she was sick). I felt so excited when I walked up the stairs to Louisa’s bedroom. In front of the window of the living room, it was where Anna (the model for Meg) and her husband John (the model for John) got married. The living room was a place full of happy memories: the family had a lot of friends that came by, so they entertained by putting on plays as the guests relaxed there.
I was very moved because it was just like what I imagined what kind of piano Beth would be playing by reading the book. In the living room, I saw Elizabeth’s (the model for Beth) tiny, highly decorated piano and her portrait above it. I could see this spirit many times as we moved around the house. This little detail really showed us their family integrity. The tour guide stated that this was an excellent example to show the Alcott family’s character, that they pushed through hard times by never forgetting to have fun and also to create beauty however possible, even if they only have limited resources. In the kitchen, the tour guide pointed towards a drawing on the cutting board to us, showcasing May’s artwork and her passion for drawing in classical and modern forms. Alcott and Mrs Alcott’s bedroom, Louisa’s bedroom, and her sister May’s (the model for Amy in Little Women) room. On the guided tour around the museum, it consists of the Alcott’s kitchen, dining room, living room, the study of Mr. The gift shop is right next to the entrance, with a treasury of books related to Louisa May Alcott and the making of Little Women, as well as aprons, postcards, tote bags, and drawings. Through the visitor door I went, inside was a very cozy environment. The house looked bigger as I walked on towards it. So I imagined Louisa’s own home, the Alcott house, would also be a huge establishment. In her book Little Women, Louisa described the March family house as a place full of action and constant movements, with many things happening at once. The house itself is more modest than I imagined. After around a 20 minute walk from the station, I encountered Louisa May Alcott’s family house next to a small road. Concord is a friendly and scenic town, 40 minutes away from Boston by train. This past winter, I visited Louisa May Alcott’s Museum at Concord, Massachusetts.
