Moulton (Louise Chandler) is born in Pomfret, Connecticut.

Louise Chandler Moulton moves to Boston after marrying William Moulton on August 27, 1855. She goes on to write poetry, prose, and travel stories, and lives at 28 Rutland Square, where, beginning in the 1880s, she holds weekly Friday salons for writers including Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louise Imogen Guiney, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Lilian Whiting later writes, “No. 28 came to be well known to every Bostonian and to whomever among visitors was interested in things literary.” Moulton dies there in 1908, and is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery.
