The story behind the McWalter-Volunteer
Insurance Agency, Inc. is the history of a family who,
for three generations during the past 100 years, has
been serving the people of Concord, its surrounding
towns and all of New England. The agency takes
great pride in the fact that many of their current
clients are the great-grandchildren of Mr. Maurice
McWalter’s first customers.
Constant growth, combined with personalized
attention, has been the key to the success of the
agency.
In 1907, a Concord attorney, the late Maurice
McWalter, founded the agency in conjunction with
his legal practice. He was joined by his oldest son,
John, in 1930. John’s oldest son, Jack, joined the
agency in 1952, followed by son Dick in 1958, and
son David in 1965.
In 1998 David merged the agency with the
Volunteer Insurance Agency, Inc., with its offices in
Concord and Maynard. Joining David in the merger
were Charlie Gibbs and John O’Donoghue. In 2008,
Cato Anderson joined the agency.
Together the four longtime insurance
professionals, David McWalter, Charlie Gibbs, John
O’Donoghue and Cato Anderson, added additional
insurance markets, grew to new heights and poised
the company to launch into the second millennium
of existence.

Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House (c. 1690)—the
home where the beloved novel, Little Women, was
written and set in 1868—holds a special attraction
for readers throughout the world.
A visit to this treasured historic site not only provides
glimpses into life lived long ago and details of the fact
and fiction in
Little Women
, but also reveals fascinating
information about the unique, talented Alcott family,
their significant contributions to literature, art, and
philosophy, and their vital role in leading reforms such
as abolition and woman’s rights.
Orchard House is privileged to contain a majority
of original Alcott artifacts, making it one of the
oldest and most authentically presented historic
house museums in America.
Students, scholars, and
Little Women
fans alike
can enjoy award-winning guided tours, thought-
provoking, standards-based educational programs,
and interactive “living history” events offered year-
round. Journalists and researchers are welcome to
make appointments to discuss projects relating to
the Alcotts and Orchard House.
Also on the premises are The Concord School
of Philosophy (c. 1879)—a highly successful adult
education center founded by progressive educator
and Transcendentalist A. Bronson Alcott—Victorian
flower gardens, and a museum store.
We hope to see you soon!
