About Orchard House School
Orchard House is a historic house museum in Concord, Massachusetts, United States, opened to the public on May 27, 1912.

The four daughters—Anna (the oldest), Louisa (one year younger), Elizabeth (three years younger than Louisa), and Abigail (the youngest, five years younger than Elizabeth)—lived in Orchard House from 1858 to 1877.
