Plumfield

Plumfield is the estate of Aunt Josephine March. “The house is big, and the furniture strong and plain (465).” There are dozens of rooms and a large orchard located on the grounds. The estate was feared by young boys due to the mistress who lived there. They eventually find themselves living in the house that they feared.
Aunt March is widowed and lives with her servants. Jo is also employed by Aunt March more so for her company. At Plumfield Jo is able to immerse with the library of books her uncle used to keep in his library. Jo is able to escape her reality and discover new worlds through reading.
