Additional Details:
This was the best-loved home of the gentle Essex County poet, John Greenleaf Whittier, dear to all American hearts and particularly to those of New England, whose scenery and folk-lore he portrayed so faithfully in undying verse. A charming spot, on a little rise of ground, in the midst of a picturesque grove of trees. An ideal home for a poet. Here Whittier passed each winter season, amid the scenes he loved so well and surrounded by an adoring and appreciative people
