"Had a fun walk around the farm and there are a lot of signs posted around that have quotes from some of his famous literature. Great place to stop if you're traveling in the area!"
"You can rent the native house of Thoreau to write a part of your history. I have been there to write my 6th book about the Democraty of the Heart"
"Great place if you're looking for some dark sky"
"I attended an authors conversation here and had never been. Thoreau is an earthquake in my life as he is to many. Being in his home was very special. I will at some point return during daytime hours and explore more "thoreu-ly". We are very lucky to have this historical site not only restored and operating but also welcoming people for important events through the Thoreau society and others."
"They were not open for the season yet so all we could really do was see the outside. I think it would be really cool to see though."
