A hundred miles, from girlhood to home.
Alcott’s story reaches from the Marches’ home to New York and Switzerland without ever counting the miles. StoryTrek’s route sets the journey at 100 miles, with 18 waypoints drawn from the book. Every walk, run, or treadmill session your phone records brings you a little further along.
How long the journey takes
| You walk | You reach the end in |
|---|---|
| 2 miles a day (3 km) | about 7 weeks |
| 3 miles a day (5 km) | about 34 days |
| 5 miles a day (8 km) | about 20 days |
| 10 miles a day (16 km) | about 10 days |
A 10,000-step day is roughly 4 to 5 miles, which gets you to the end in about 23 days.
The whole story, mile after mile.
The route begins at Orchard House and the Laurence estate, where the sisters’ childhood plays out, then follows them into the wider world, with Jo in New York and Amy abroad in Switzerland, before bringing everyone home to Plumfield. It is the longer of StoryTrek’s two Little Women routes; for a shorter walk, try The March Family Trail.
Each waypoint pairs a restored drawing by Frank T. Merrill with a moment from the story. Finish one stretch, and the next one opens.
Walk it together
Start a company and bring a friend, a book club, or the whole office along. Each of you walks your own miles, wherever you live, and together you follow the sisters all the way home to Plumfield.
