Biography
Amos Bronson Alcott devoted himself to moral education and innovative pedagogy, inspiring generations through the Temple School and the Transcendentalist circle that flourished in Concord.
He raised a family rooted in thought and action, including his daughter Louisa, and his final rest at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is a quiet marker of a life lived in pursuit of higher ideals.
