Orchard House

I finally took the tour of the Orchard House out in Concord. I've been to the grounds and the gift shop a million times, but always had small children in tow and a no-touch tour didn't sound like much fun. This time I left Calvin in charge of Cece and away we went with some friends! It was delightful. Unfortunately, no photography is allowed inside (I guess that's how they sell tours).

One of my favorite parts about the house is how uneven the floors were. I found it disarming and charming at the same time. Definitely a time-stamp of a time gone by when everyone built their own houses and nobody had Pinterest or Ask This Old House.
