New Hampshire�s Cornish Colony illustrates this distinguished American art colony. First settled in 1885 by colleagues of America�s Michelangelo, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Cornish Colony was a retreat for sculptors, painters, writers, and musicians. They were attracted to this peaceful valley nestled in the New Hampshire hills in the shadow of Vermont�s Mount Ascutney. Known as �the Athens of America,� the Cornish Colony was a lively, glamorous society during its heyday from 1885 to 1925. One outstanding member, the famous artist Maxfield Parrish, was called a �chickadee� because he spent the entire year in Cornish, not merely the summer. In New Hampshire�s Cornish Colony, discover a portrait of the colonists� society and the fascinating people who contributed to America�s cultural legacy.
