The Thoreau Society

The Thoreau Society, founded in 1941, is dedicated to promoting the life, works, and philosophy of American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau is best known for his book "Walden," which reflects on simple living in natural surroundings and his beliefs in individuality, nature, and social justice. The Society provides resources, organizes events, and fosters discussions about Thoreau's influence on environmentalism, literature, and philosophy. It brings together scholars, enthusiasts, and the public to explore Thoreau's ideas and their relevance today, aiming to inspire a deeper appreciation for nature and thoughtful living.
