Museum room
When the Doane and Merwin families lived here, this room was used as a sitting room or guest room. In 1966 when Historic New England acquired the property, this room, as well as others, was turned into a formal museum exhibition space. Since then most of the rooms in the house have been restored to the way they looked at the time of Vipont’s death. Historic New England left some of the formal exhibition displays in this room as an example of how heritage organizations change their philosophies over time.
