The 2012 Summer Conversational Series

Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House Centennial:
Legacy of a Powerful Voice

Sunday - Thursday, July 15th - 19th

In 1912, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House officially opened its doors as a museum and was, arguably, the first museum established to commemorate the life of an American woman writer.

Since then, it has been a pilgrimage site for hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who come to pay tribute to an author who captured the imagination of generations.

The powerful voice of Louisa May Alcott lives on through her works -- which have never lost their relevance or lasting impact on young and old alike -- and within the place where her legacy was founded:  Orchard House.

This year’s Summer Conversational Series will explore, through thoughtful presentations and lively discussions, how this powerful writer’s voice left such an inspirational and influential legacy for so many readers, writers, and social activists.

Proposals are currently being accepted for presentations;
please submit a one-page proposal to ladams@louisamayalcott.org
and jturnquist@louisamayalcott.org by 4 March 2012
