“We go every year for their Christmas program. The tour is lead by members of the Alcott family , including Louisa herself. Each room of the house has an Alcott to introduce themselves to you and explain information about their family's life, Orchard House, and speak about Little Women. You step back in time and they treat you as if you were one of their contemporaries stopping by to visit. Advanced tickets can be bought online and are highly recommended, especially for the Christmas program which is held on four days in December. If you buy advanced tickets you are offered a 10% off coupon to use that day in their gift shop. Many of Alcott's books and books about her work are available. Some period toys that the Alcott sisters would have been familiar with, as well as post cards and magnets. A personal favorite must-have treat is the package of heart-shaped shortbread cookies baked locally. We leave with a package for each of our family members. They have become part of our Orchard House tradition.”

“This house has history for my family - we are related distantly to the Harndens. The museum curator was kind enough to open the place special for us during a family reunion weekend. The tour was great and she was very knowledgeable about the place. Very cool to see the displays and hear the history of the house and the town and surrounding area.”

“An unassuming hidden gem in suburban Massachusetts. Gropius designed his own personal residence to showcase all the design principles that the Bauhaus school stood for. The tours conducted here do a nice job of providing historical context and there's a tiny shop at the front visitor desk.”

“Great history of the Salem witch hysteria, based on facts and remaining questions, minus the modern-day witchy theme park vibe in downtown Salem.”

“On a 40 degree day in January we were still able to appreciate the expansive grounds deCordova sits on. The indoor exhibits were interesting, though I felt myself wishing the decor called back the time period of the deCordova castle similar to the way things are handled for the interior of the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. We kept seeing pictures of how parts used to look, but then a garden patio would be bare or a room would be white-walled to look like an exhibit hall, not a room in a castle. It was a little muddy in places due to recent weather but the views ranged from pretty to breathtaking as we moved from one outdoor installation to the next.”

“I had some stamps from my grandfather. I called the museum and was able to get some guidance as to what to do on the phone. Truly kind and knowledgeable staff. I had been to one other appraiser who said he'd review the stamps. I drove an hour and a half to see him, and he didn't even bother to open the books completely, he just saw a few, then disregarded the whole collection. My day was wasted as I had to drive through Boston traffic to get to him. If you're looking for a kind and honest review with lots of cool facts and details in the history of the stamps, this is the place to call or go to. I'm definitely planning a visit to the museum now, just to check it out after this great experience and meet the staff. I'm happy to say, even though my collection maybe not be of much value, they are very gorgeous stamps, and will make a beautiful piece of art for my apartment that I'll always remember my grandfather by. I think I just might have caught the stamp collecting bug!”
