Thursday’s Boston Globe (March 8, 2012) ran a wonderful spread in their Globe West section on all the festivities taking place this spring in Concord in honor of Orchard House’s centennial as a museum. Here’s a teaser with a link to the rest of the article. The online version didn’t carry the great pictures so I’m sharing them here. The pictures were taken by Jon Chase for the Boston Globe.

Orchard House, the Concord home where Louisa May Alcott wrote her famous novel, Little Women, is celebrating 100 years as a museum, and keepers of the Alcott legacy have organized a “Little Women Spring.’’

The schedule of events features the eighth special presentation of “Little Women” by the Concord Players, which has been performing a locally written version of the story every 10 years since 1932, with the exception of 1942 because of World War II.

But the play’s return – in 12 performances starting April 27 and running through May 13 – is hardly the only event happening this centennial year.
