Roseland Cottage is located in Woodstock Connecticut and was built in 1846 by Henry and Lucy Bowen.
In 1970, the property was purchased by Historic New England with the help of local and state agencies and Roseland Cottage opened as a museum. Roseland Cottage is now a designated National Historic Landmark as of 1977.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic, relax on the grounds, and enjoy the gardens.
Roseland Cottage is also the site of the Annual Roseland Cottage Fine Arts & Crafts Festival, one of the leading juried fine arts and crafts shows in New England. This festival typically features over 150 New England artisans and their work: jewelry, painting, printmaking, woodwork, pottery, clothing, metalwork, and much more!
