This charming room is named for the proprietor’s grandmother, Charlotte Whitcomb, who came to the house as a young bride of twenty at the turn of the 20th century and remained here until her death in 1962. She was an ardent gardener and during her tenure lush gardens surrounded the house on all sides.

This room is named for the owner’s great grandmother, wife of Horatio Colony. Emeline and Horatio occupied the house upon their marriage in the 1860s and remained there for their lifetimes. She was an elegant woman, renowned for her graciousness and hospitality. At the turn of the century, Emeline oversaw the construction of a handsome addition that now houses the Bed & Breakfast portion of the Colony House.

Hannah Taylor, the great, great grandmother of the proprietor never resided in this house, although she lived within walking distance and visited frequently. She and her husband, Josiah Colony, the co-founder of the Faulkner and Colony Mill, were the parents of seven children, the youngest of whom, Horatio, purchased the house in 1863. Her widowed husband, Josiah, spent the final years of his life in residence here.
