Cogswell's Grant was the summer home of Bertram K. and Nina Fletcher Little, preeminent collectors of American decorative arts in the mid 20th century. Through her research and innumerable publications, Mrs. Little charted new areas of American folk art such as decorative painting, floor coverings, boxes, and New England pottery. In 1937, the Littles purchased this 18th-century farmhouse overlooking the Essex River as a family retreat and place to entertain. They restored it carefully, trying to preserve original 18th-century finishes and carefully documenting their work. Their collection was arranged for visual delight rather than historical accuracy, and the result is rich in atmosphere and crowded with collections of things -- portraits, redware, painted furniture, hooked rugs, weather vanes, and decoys -- that have since come to define the country look.
