September Hops and History
Louisa Answers the Call
Before she became a literary icon, Louisa May Alcott left her home in Concord, Massachusetts to serve as a Civil War nurse—a chapter of her life that profoundly shaped both her writing and her worldview.
Join us for an evening of history and storytelling as Jill Fuller, founder and co-host of the Let Genius Burn podcast, shares the powerful and often overlooked story of Louisa’s time on the front lines of war.
Enjoy a local brew in the taproom of Goodworks Brewing Company as we explore how this experience became a defining force in Alcott’s life and legacy.
