Begun in 2010, this blog offers analysis and reflection by Susan Bailey on the life, works and legacy of Louisa May Alcott and her family. Susan is an active member and supporter of the Louisa May Alcott Society, the Fruitlands Museum and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House.
” ‘There are abandoned graveyards in many towns. In Wolcott there’s a cemetery, hidden in brush, that is the final resting place of members of the Alcott family.’ [says Collinsville author David Leff] including forebears of Louisa May Alcott and Bronson Alcott.”
A hidden graveyard … hmmm, another trip to add to my Alcott-related vacation which begins July 18.
I’m finally reading the Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, and enjoying it. (really liked Mr. Emerson’s Wife!) But seeing me read this one, my husband asked if there was anything to find in Walpole, NH. Will that be on your Alcott-vacation (a phrase that stirs my heart!)?
I’ll be very curious as to your final opinion on Last Summer. It is a fun read. With regards to exploring Walpole, no time this time around (nor Wolcott either sadly, Houghton Library comes first) but I will keep them on my list. Walpole is so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that myself! 🙂
