Welcome to the Betsy-Tacy Society

 As a young girl, Maud Hart Lovelace dreamed of becoming a writer. She followed her dream and became the author of the universally loved series of Betsy-Tacy books. Step into the pages of Betsy and Tacy’s Deep Valley . . .

With support from Maud Hart Lovelace fans from around the world, the Betsy-Tacy Society has preserved and restored the childhood homes of Maud’s fictional characters Betsy and Tacy. Now open to visitors, Betsy’s House is a museum where one can see how the Hart family lived more than 100 years earlier. Across the street is Tacy’s House, where you can view Hart and Lovelace family artifacts, photographs, and more. And be sure to visit our Shop (located at Tacy’s House and available online 24/7), which is bursting with books and other treasures sure to please all Maud Hart Lovelace and Betsy-Tacy fans!

Browse this site to learn more about the Betsy-Tacy Society, Maud Hart Lovelace, and Maud’s Deep Valley.

Thank you for visiting – and welcome to Deep Valley!
