My Trip to Concord: Part Two

Location 2: Orchard House

We went up the path that lead to the church, and there was a table for guests to sign in with their info and whatever message they’d like to leave. I wrote something like “Best birthday ever for the biggest Little Women fan.” Beside it was a small garden and while it didn’t have any flowers, it was nice to imagine what could have been, and it being the cutest garden.

The tour started in the church, and I was able to get these photos.

Apologizes that the cabinet picture isn’t the greatest, but it was a picture of what appears to be Joan of Arc, and my friend wondered if perhaps Abigail had painted that too. While we waited, we watched this documentary piece (we did miss part of the beginning because we ran a little late at the cemetery) where an actress played LMA and gave a small tour of the house. Something worth noting, and it will be particularly sweet to a certain demographic, when the fictional LMA was showing the pictures from the house, she referred Thoreau as a “very, very, very special friend”. It made me smile like an idiot.

When it finished, our guide told us that this was the school of Philosophy, where Bronson was the superintendent. The bench by the tree was the bench Bronson often sat at. Then moving into the house, we started in the kitchen and I snuck this picture in before being told that we were not allowed any pictures. If you want a good idea of how the interior looks, the 1994 film did a phenomenal job with the design, the colors are a bit different, but the structure is pretty much the same.

This was where the well was, and it was protected by plexiglass. It’s interesting, because in October I got to see Edgar Allan Poe’s house in Baltimore, and Orchard house is so much bigger than that, and it really did feel as cozy and inviting as you’d imagine. From the kitchen to the dining room, it had a picture of LMA over the mantel by the stairs, one that was done after her illness and by the same painter who did Abraham Lincoln. The china in the cabinet was the family china, belonging to her mother, which is why it has “May” engraved as it was her maiden name.

The only bedrooms we saw were the parents, which had a small offshoot of Anna’s twin boys’ room, Abigail and, of course, Louisa. The rooms were all very good size, though Abigail's was smaller than the other two, but I get it, she was the youngest, and if remembering correctly, she moved out/was in Europe at an early age, and didn't need the space. What was so cool as seeing her artwork all around her room, protected by plexiglass, and a copy of her painting La Négresse, was featured in her room.

Louisa's room was my favorite, not just because it's Louisa, but because it had the coziest feel, was sunny, and had such a great history there. Our guide shared that Louisa stayed in this room primarily when she was sick during the war, and Abigail would keep her company, and while she lamented she couldn't get Louisa flowers (as they were pricey), she painted flowers in her room, and it's still there, and very beautiful. It's a black background, with calla lilies and some red flower I am not sure of (you can see a part of it if you look at Abigail's wiki page.).

Something to note, at various places around the house, there were small baskets of fake apples, and my mom asked me "what's with the apples", and I said, "well, it is called orchard house." And then a few minutes later, the guide said that there used to be apple trees that grew nearby and Bronson was known to give people apples even if they didn't ask for it. His study was pretty cool, saw a pocket watch holder that worked as well as a clock. On the shelf, the people of the museum filled it with different versions of LMA's works from all over the world, both in style and in language.

Off from there was Abigail's small art studio, which had a dollhouse like case where different scenes from Little Women are played out. And they discovered underneath the wallpaper and whatnot, outlines of Abigail's artwork, profiles of people that had come to visit, and the museum had protected it with plexiglass, and on that highlighted the profiles.

At the end, we were in the store and there were so many awesome things there that I could have wasted my money there, but I settled on a few things.

Starting at the top and going clockwise, a magnet with Louisa on it with the quote "Nothing is impossible to a determined woman". Next is a small book called "The Language of Flowers" which is, as the cover says, flowers and their meanings". Next is "Merry Christmas and Other Christmas Stories" written by LMA. "Orchard House: Home of Little Women" is a Emmy winning documentary, and was the one that played in the church, and next to it is the Katharine Hepburn Little Women (they had the 33, 94, 19 versions, but I was surprised they didn't have the 17 or even the 49 film, though that is apparently a tough find). Above her, is little kids book called "Little Women: A Playtime Primer", and it's going to be a gift for my nephew. Above that is an ornament of Orchard house with an engraving of LMA, and in the center is a tote bag.

I also got a candle that's called Pickled Limes, and holy crap it smells amazing! A sweet limey scent, which reminded me of @thegamineingrey post of how they were like candy back in the day, and I totally get it. Also, bonus inside, an umbrella charm which was what really sealed the deal, if not for the scent.

Here are pics of the outside of Orchard House, many of which were taken by my mom, since I was too busy just admiring the place.

Suffice to say, it is a beautiful house, full of a rich history and, just as the book, still feels relevant and like going home. I am glad we were able to make the trip out to see this amazing house.

History

July 16, 1769 - San Diego was founded as the mission San Diego de Alcala by Father Junipero Serra.

July 16, 1945 - The experimental Atomic bomb "Fat Boy" was set off at 5:30 a.m. in the desert of New Mexico desert, creating a mushroom cloud rising 41,000 ft. The bomb emitted heat three times the temperature of the interior of the sun and wiped out all plant and animal life within a mile.

July 16, 1969 - The Apollo 11 Lunar landing mission began with a liftoff from Kennedy Space Center at 9:37 a.m.

July 16, 1999 - A small plane piloted by John F. Kennedy Jr. took off at 8:38 p.m. from Fairfield, New Jersey, heading toward Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. His wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren were passengers on the 200 mile trip. The plane was expected to arrive about 10 p.m. but disappeared off radar at 9:40 p.m. Five days later, July 21, following an extensive search, the bodies were recovered from the plane wreckage in 116 feet of water roughly 7 miles off Martha's Vineyard. The next day, following an autopsy, the cremated remains of John F. Kennedy, 38, his wife Carolyn, 33, and her sister Lauren, 34, were scattered at sea from a U.S. Navy ship, with family members present, not far from where the plane had crashed.

Birthday - British portrait painter Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) was born in Plympton, Devon, England.

Birthday - Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was born near Concord, New Hampshire.

Birthday - African American journalist and anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells (1862-1931) was born to slaves at Holly Springs, Missouri. Following the Civil War, as lynchings became prevalent, Wells traveled extensively, founding anti-lynching societies and black women's clubs.

Birthday - Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) was born near Oslo. He was the first to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean via the Northwest Passage. He discovered the South Pole in 1911 and flew over the North Pole in a dirigible in 1926. In June 1928, he flew from Norway to rescue survivors of an Italian Arctic expedition, but his plane vanished.

THREE WOMEN/THREE PATRONS

In stark contrast to ancient Greece, the Romans had no use for the cult of the artist. The native sculptors, painters, mosaicists, and goldsmiths produced copies of Greek works or adapted from Greek sources, were freedmen or slaves whose names are not preserved and whose personal contribution to their work was minimal. When Roman patrons commissioned works from Greek artists (or looted masterpieces by classical artists), those names were often dutifully recorded. Architects were also freedmen, but commanded a little more respect, perhaps because the Romans knew that in this area their architects surpassed Greece in technical ability and iinnovation.

We also know that while the Roman elite recognized and valued high degrees of technical skill workmanship in the artists they patronized, the viewed those manual abilities as inappropriate for members of their own class and looked askance at their social peers who attempted to practice the visual arts. Capable emperors like Hadrian and Julian who took an interest in a manual activities including art, were thought to have degraded the purple in doing so.

Roman art has therefore been largely viewed as the product of an elite patron, who had no direct experience of making art, but whose taste, education, and class informed his/her choices of style, iconography and materials. The work art expresses the patron’s concerns, ambitions, and assumptions, without ever being “expressive” in the psycho-personal, modern sense. Unlike their Greek counterparts, the role of patron in ancient Rome was much more open to women. The following three examples demonstrate the real ways in which privileged Roman women used artistic patronage to assert themselves in the public sphere and to exercise limited, but meaningful, forms of political power.

I. EUMACHIA OF POMPEII

Nearly everything known today about Eumachia stems from epigraphic inscriptions found in Pompeii. The longer of two inscriptions on the building bearing her name adjacent to the Forum identifies her as the priestess of the cult of Venus Pompeiana. The priestess was the sole female member of the city council. Obtaining the position required great wealth and high social rank and the same inscription suggests Eumachia had both: she was the heiress of a successful brick and tile manufacturer and the wife of a patrician duumvir.

In addition to her role as priestess, Eumachia was the patron of Pompeii’s fuller’s guild. In the second decade of the 1st century, she paid for the construction of an enormous elegant building, which served as the meeting place and/or the workshop for the guild. A togate statue representing Eumachia placed in a niche inside the building was donated by the guild in her honor. The inscription also notes that the building was the building was dedicated to Concord and the pax augusta, which indicated that Eumachia wished to be known as a supporter of the imperial government.

Eumachia also commissioned the largest tomb in Pompeii. The elaborate monument exceeded the city’s limits placed on tomb size and surpassed the size of the mausolea of her male colleagues on the council.

II. AGRIPPINA THE ELDER

The daughter of Marcus Agrippa and Augustus’ daughter Julia was married to Germanicus, the most esteemed and capable general in Rome’s history and the adoptive son of Tiberius. After the untimely death of Germanicus, Agrippina actively promoted the sons of Germanicus as potential heirs to Tiberius. In pursuit of this goal, she commissioned one of the most important works of Roman art, the so-called Grand Camée de France.

The largest cameo to survive from antiquity was probably given to Tiberius, who is depicted at the center of the middle register. In the upper register, which signifies the divine realm, the deified Augustus is joined by Drusus and Germanicus. Seated next to Tiberius in the realm of the living is Livia (which dates the cameo to before AD 27). Alsc present are Germanicus and Agrippina with their sons Nero Julius Cæsar, Drusus, and Gaius (Caligula). After the death of their father, the older two boys were adopted by Tiberius. Both were dead by AD 31. Below, captive barbarians served to remind Tiberius of the glorious victories of Germanicus.

Following the example of Augustus, the Julio-Claudians were avid collectors of cameos and intaglios. Agrippina would have been familiar with the most accomplished gem carvers and the works they produced, including the Gemma Augusta. The size, refinement and complexity of the Grand Camée could not have failed to make an impression on Tiberius and Agrippina’s goal was eventually fulfilled: Caligula inherited the throne after the rest of his family, including Agrippina, was exterminated during the ascendancy of Sejanus. The priceless object proves that with access to unlimited resources Roman women could surpass their male counterparts in the commissioning of lavish artworks designed to serve as instruments of political power.

III. GALLA PLACIDIA

Galla Placidia was the daughter of Emperor Theodosius I, the sister of the Emperors Arcadius and Honorius, the mother of Emperor Valentinian III, and the aunt of Emperor Theodosius II. She was given the title Augusta in 421. Galla Placidia, Eudoxia, the wife of Theodosius II, and Pulcheria, the sister of Theodosius II effectively ran the eastern and western empires together during the minorities of Valentinian III and Theodosius II.

As the de facto ruler of the western empire, Galla Placidia engaged in many acts of imperial architecture patronage. She restored the churches of San Paolo fuori le mure in Rome and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In Ravenna, she founded the basilica of San Giovanni Evangelista and commissioned the building known today as the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, which was in fact an Oratory, attached to the narthex of the palace chapel of Santa Croce. After her death in 450, Galla Placidia was buried in the Theodosian family mausoleum in Old Saint Peter’s in Rome. The sarcophagi currently in the oratory, long identified as those of Galla Placidia, Constanius III and Valentinian III, were placed there at a later date.

The interior decoration of the oratory is the product of Galla’s refined tastes and unlimited resources. The mosaic depicting Christ as the Good Shepherd is a masterpiece of Late Antique art, seemlessly combining elements of Greek pastoral imagery, classical figuration, and imperial Roman iconography.

The mosaic representing a saint with a flaming grille was traditionally thought to depict St Lawrence. It has been argued,* however, that this panel represents the Spanish Saint Vincent of Saragossa. Evidence for this theory includes the facts that 1) Galla Placidia had Spanish connections through her first husband, Ataulf, the King of the Visigoths; 2) St. Vincent was martyred by drowning at sea, and Galla had founded San Giovanni Evangelista after she and her children had been delivered from a shipwreck; and 3) Prudentius's fifth century Passio Sancti Vincent Martyris recounts how Vincent was ordered to disclose his sacred books, so they could be burned. This explains the conspicuous representation of a late antique bookpress, containing the labeled codices of the Gospels, which has no satisfactory explanation in the story of St. Lawrence. This interpretation ties Galla Placidia personally to the mosaic program, proving that female patrons (of this class) had the freedom to commemorate their own experiences and personalize, not just pay for, official monuments.

Going for 2 days in Paris? Popularly known as the ‘City of Lights’, Paris is a great metropolitan area within France and the wider Europe as a whole. You can never afford to overlook it in your visit to mainland Europe.

Given the expensive nature of the city, you want to make the most of your visit to the area. We have lined up for you some itinerary of the most critical and ‘must-visit’ places in a typical two-day visit.

If you have 5 or 7 days for Paris then read more of our posts from here and here.

France has some fantastic places to visit, especially South France, the famous Côte d’Azur. Do read for our trips through: Le Mont Saint Michel, Lyon, Eze, Avignon, Saint Tropez, Provence and Strasbourg. 

2 Days in Paris, France

Generally speaking, we do recommend that you visit this city in the summer which runs from the end of May through to the end of August. It is at that time that the weather is forgiving and the city is also lively with visitors.

Expect to spend quite some money to move around. Paris, being a first world city, is naturally very expensive. To add insult to injury, the city is also unfriendly to bikes and as such, you will mostly find yourself hiring taxis.

2 Days in Paris, France: Day 1

On your first day of the trip, we do recommend that you visit the most popular and globally-renowned landmarks. This is just in case you are unable to proceed with the rest of the tour. Luckily, most of these landmarks are located within close proximity to one another.

As such, you will not have to walk longer to be able to access them. This means limited inconvenience and greatly reduced costs of transportation. Here are some of the places to start with:

Louvre Museum at the Right Bank of the Seine

Le Louvre

Louvre Museum is yet another well-known of Paris building structures and facilities. It is also a landmark art museum which has a vast collection of artwork of all kinds. The facility once served as a historic palace.

It houses huge art collections, mostly from the Roman sculptures to da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.” Its strategic and central location means limited hassles to access and fairer degree of convenience as well.

Skip the line with this.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris is an iconic Gothic church which is located at the heart of Paris. It traces its origins way back to the 13th-century and has some flying buttresses and gargoyles. The cathedral has played some significant roles in the spiritual and political life of France.

You need not necessarily be a Catholic or a Christian for that matter to be able to make some good out of this building. Its breathtaking appearance coupled with nice architecture is both great for sightseeing and photography.

(Note: In April 2019, Notre-Dame, was largely damaged by fire. You need to check if you can visit).

Arc de Triomphe at the Champs-Élysées

France was at one time a ‘strong man’ in the affairs and history of Europe. During the Napoleonic era (1799-1815), it dominated Europe militarily, politically, and diplomatically. No other structure reminisces these accomplishments better than this Arc de Triomphe.

This iconic triumphal arch and a national monument commemorate Napoleon’s victories. It also has an observation deck for you to get to and gaze the breathtaking beauty of Paris metropolis. Arm yourself with a camera to capture these and many more images.

Eiffel Tower at Champ de Mars

Eiffel Tower at Champ de Mars

Needless to say, the Eiffel Tower should top the list of your tourism destinations. This is a world-renown tower in Paris, France. The landmark measures 324 mt high and was constructed in the 19th-century tower. It contains steps and elevators which lead you to some observation decks high up.

Other than photography and sightseeing, your visit here may and should indeed entail climbing the elevators to capture some panorama of the Paris skyline.

Book ahead; lines are long.

Champs-Élysées 

Definitely, you cannot visit Paris and leave without eating or buying anything. Perhaps no other shopping district grants you the opportunities to do these better than this Champs-Élysées. It is an iconic site of landmarks, dining, and shops.

As you walk through these streets, you will come across some fine restaurants, shops, and other great dining facilities. Food and merchandise cost a lot here in Paris. Be prepared to dig deeper in your pocket to be able to afford them.

Sacré-Cœur at Barre

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

France and indeed much of Western Europe played a vital role in the proselytization of Christianity. This Sacré-Cœur is yet another silent reminder of Europe’s great Christian past. It is basically a landmark hilltop white basilica.

Apart from the core role of serving as a place of worship, the facility in and of itself is also breathtaking to behold. It does have some interior mosaics, stained-glass windows, and a crypt, all of which are great for photography and sightseeing.

You can book a Sacré-Coeur and Montmartre Tour.

Palace of Versailles at Yvelines of Île-de-France

As part of your study of the glorious past of France, you want to spend some time here at the Palace of Versailles. This structure served as the official residence of King Louis XIV. It is gilded and adorned with great gardens.

Access to the facility is restricted to those who hail from outside the European Union. If you do happen to gain access, you will be taken through some guided tours of its gilded apartments, chandeliered Hall of Mirrors and fountain show.

Book the palace tickets early.

Musée d’Orsay on the Left Bank of the Seine

Are you a lover of art? Well, you have this Musée d’Orsay museum for your visit. The museum contains a collection of several masterpieces of 19th- & 20th-century art. These including photography, furniture, sculptures, and paintings.

Entry is free to children who are citizens. Others can be charged up to €14. Though huge, the benefits you stand to accrue far outweigh this small investment. Do purpose to spare a bit of your time and spend it here.

Book your entry.

Montmartre in Paris’s 18th arrondissement

Montmartre

Montmartre is a large hill which is located right at the heart of Paris. At the hill are a basilica, vineyard, and a museum that is dedicated to the celebrated Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh. A stay here lets you hit three birds with one stone.

You get to access the basilica, take some tour of the vineyard and even visit the museum for a deeper understanding of the life and times of the Dutch painter. Being free of any congestions, it is also a place to detach and relax.

Luxembourg Gardens in the 6th arrondissement of Paris

Luxembourg Gardens

Your final venue on your first day of the tour should be these Luxembourg Gardens. It is basically a park which has a couple of manicured lawns and statues. The trees provide the shade whereas the breeze from the winding Seine River cools the atmosphere for your lively stay.

This is a place to detach and relax from the congested lifestyles of the rest of the city. Being breathtaking, it also provides you some great photography opportunities. What’s more? You will also get to socialize with others from around the world!

2 Days in Paris, France: Day 2

Having exhausted the most crucial landmarks and places of interest in your first leg of the tour, it is now in order to go deeper into those other facilities which are located farther afield. These places are located far apart and will hence require longer commute time and transport expenses.

Taxis are the best means to move around. They are flexible enough to accord you the convenience you require. Be prepared though to spend a lot as transport costs are too high.

Tuileries Garden near Place de la Concorde

Tuileries Garden

This garden is an expansive, 17th-century formal garden in Paris. It is dotted with a couple of statues such as the 18 bronzes by Maillol. The garden is public in nature; meaning that you are not charged any amount to access it.

This is a good place to retreat to as you prepare to venture out to your visit. The ambiance is cool and breathtaking. You will get to unwind and even make friends with other like-minded persons of your kind in the area.

Moulin Rouge

Are you a lover of nightlife? Well, this Moulin Rouge is a nice place to retire to at the end of your visit to the city. It is basically a Cabaret in Paris, France. Inside the facility are some dinner, dancers, and Belle Epoque décor.

The dancers adorn themselves in elaborate costumes which add some life to the air. You will get to have some fun after a long and hectic day running your errands.

Book for the show.

Disneyland Paris

If you choose to travel with your junior, you must divert and spend a bit of your time here. This is a theme park in Marne-la-Vallée, France. It comes in the form of an iconic amusement park that offers some themed rides.

Other than that, it also provides some family-friendly shows and costumed characters, as well as a dozen hotels. It is located some 32 km away from downtown Paris and is hence not so convenient to access.

Get your 1-day ticket.
