User:Stridero/Orchard House

The Alcotts' moved out of Orchard House November 14, 1877.

In 1884, Alcott sold Orchard House, saying that she's “glad to be done with it, though after living in it for 25 years it is full of memories. But places have not much hold on me when the persons who made them dear are gone.”

Initially, Orchard house was too dilapidated for them to move in immediately. The Alcotts' stayed in a house on Bedford Street while repairs were being made.
