Once the summer getaway of wealthy merchant, Henry Bowen, this 1846 Gothic Revival estate
in the picturesque town of Woodstock, includes sculptured boxwood parterre gardens and 21
flower beds. In the lifetime of the owner, Roseland Cottage was the site of many lavish
parties which four Presidents of the United States attended.
The house is surrounded by stately trees and shaded lawns. The porch
of the gaily painted main house, now a museum, makes an intriguing frame for wedding
photographs. The restored carriage barn and grounds can be rented for weddings and
receptions; a kitchen and handicap-accessible restrooms are available. Parties from 20-80
can be seated in the barn, up to 300 with a tent site. Museum tours can be arranged for
guests.
Roseland Cottage is a National Historic Landmark and is
owned and operated by SPNEA (the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities). |
