The tour starts at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA  at the site of a commune founded in 1843 by Brinson Alcott. Alcott appears as a character in the play, along with Charles Lane. Next, go over to Appleton Farms in Ipswich to one of the country’s oldest continuously operating farms to visit the grasslands, livestock, stone walls, crops and old farm buildings. Lastly, the tour ends in Walpole with performances at Francis William Bird Park. Open fields lined by tree groves, winding pathways, stone bridges and a trio of ponds make this a memorable spot.
