About this event
Calling All Woodlands Fairies and Gnomes! The Fruitlands Fairy Forest is back! Just in time for Fall!
While living at Fruitlands, 10-year-old Louisa May Alcott wrote in her diary that she “had a lovely time in the woods with Anna and Lizzie. They were fairies, and made gowns and paper wings.
Don your wings, grab your crowns, and come play in the Fruitlands woods as Louisa and her sisters once played. They encourage all visitors to the grounds and trails to build fairy and gnome houses around the Willard Archeological site along the yellow trail at Fruitlands Museum. Collect natural materials and build a house for the Fruitlands fairies and gnomes, then leave your house for the sprites to enjoy and other guests to see as the fairy forest grows.
The Fruitlands Trails are open everyday from dawn til dusk, and the Fairy Forest Village will be open daily from September 3 through November 1.
The Fruitlands Fairy Forest is a self-guided activity.
