The New Hampshire room represents an “attic playroom” with dolls and toys from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries. Wallace Nutting, a noted antiquarian, artist, author and cabinetmaker, designed the room for the New Hampshire state society and planned it around an over the mantel painting of a landscape with two young girls from a house in Piermont, New Hampshire. The display of toys is regularly rotated throughout the room. |
