A destination for antique lovers, this eighteenth century farmhouse was the summer home of collectors Bertram and Nina Fletcher Little, and features their celebrated collection of American folk art. Arranged just as the family lived with it, the house is overflowing with portraits, redware, painted furniture, hooked rugs, and decoys.
