Join us for an evening of history and storytelling as Jill Fuller, founder and co-host of the Let Genius Burn podcast, shares the powerful and often overlooked story of Louisa’s time on the front lines of war.
Enjoy a local brew in the taproom of Goodworks Brewing Company as we explore how this experience became a defining force in Alcott’s life and legacy.

History. Candlelight. An unforgettable night.
Experience the Milton House Museum after hours, guided by the flickering light of candles, and learn the rich stories that shaped our past.
