  Come aboard! Relive the days of Boston's Tall Ships. The 125-foot Liberty Clipper is a gaff-rigged topsail schooner, grandly fashioned in the tradition of the spectacular wind-driven coastal schooners of the mid-1800s, which helped create the rich nautical history of Boston and New England. Take the wheel, set the sails, fire the cannon, throw tea in the harbor, feast on sumptuous fare, or just sit back and enjoy the sights and beauty of Boston Harbor and Islands. Sailing with the Liberty Fleet is a truly amazing experience and a great way to get a taste of history. Note: Tickets to Liberty Fleet may not be available during Harborfest from June 30-July 5 or the Tall Ships Festival from July 8-13.

Louisa May Alcott Orchard House

• Description
  Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House is a true pilgrimage site for all who treasure the classic novel, Little Women, written there in 1868. Orchard House not only served as the Alcott family home, but was also the setting for Little Women. Built in 1690, the house has remarkable architectural authenticity, and with most of the original family artifacts, it feels as if the Alcotts just left. The warm, welcoming atmosphere evokes cherished memories of the characters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, while guided tours offer fascinating insights into the real-life family members who inspired them. See where Alcott theatricals were performed; marvel at artwork literally covering walls and doors; discover how the Alcotts participated in numerous reforms; and appreciate their contributions to literature, education, art, philosophy, and social justice.
