On Boston’s “Little Women Day,” the Gibson House Museum, a filming location for Greta Gerwig’s new Little Women movie, will be honored with a visit from Louisa May Alcott! Portrayed by Jan Turnquist, Alcott will discuss her family life and how she came to write the beloved 1868 novel.
Jan Turnquist has portrayed Miss Alcott across the U.S. and in Japan, where she was invited to the Imperial Palace on the Empress's birthday. She has also performed as Miss Alcott for First Lady Laura Bush. She has been Executive Director of Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House for twenty years. Open year-round, the Alcott family home in Concord, Mass., is where Louisa May Alcott wrote and set Little Women. (For more information about Orchard House, visit https://louisamayalcott.org/)

The Gibson House is a historic house museum located in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. It is located at 137 Beacon Street, between Arlington and Berkeley Streets, convenient to both the Arlington Street subway stop on the Green Line and the Charles Street and Park Street subway stops on the Red Line.
Now a National Historic Landmark, the home served as residence to three generations of Gibson family members and their household staff between 1859 and 1954. The Museum’s four floors of period rooms, including the original kitchen, are a time capsule of domestic life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Visitors experience the house through guided tours that interpret class and culture through the stories and objects of the people who lived and worked there.
