Review & FAQ:

The Wayside is a historic estate that dates back to 1717. Inspiration for Little Women came from time spent in the house. The Wayside was a part of the Underground Railroad, a refuge for slaves on the run. A plaque at the house recognizes the role the Alcott family played to support the Underground Railroad.

Three noted American authors lived at the property throughout history. In 1927, it was opened to the public and later declared a National Historic Landmark. It is situated within Minute Man National Historic Park.
