Places to stay:
We often get asked about places to stay in the Cornish Colony area. While there are many fine hotels and scenic motels serving the Dartmouth College/ Hanover, NH area, our finest recommendation for a local bed and breakfast inn is the 1902 Federal mansion the Juniper Hill Inn. which is located high on a hillside overlooking the Town of Windsor, Vermont. Those of you familiar with the area know that Windsor, Vermont was the industrial and shopping center for the Cornish Colony in Maxfield Parrish's time. In fact, Parrish gave one of his paintings to the tellers at the then Windsor National Bank in appreciation of their years of service to him. Juniper Hill Inn has 16 rooms, all air-conditioned, and is a full service bed & breakfast inn. As of the new year 2006, this lovely inn has new owners, Robert and Ari, and they can be reached at (800) 359-2041

Local attractions in the Cornish Colony area:
For a look at the must-see Augustus Saint-Gaudens national historic site located in the heart of the Cornish Colony, Cornish, New Hampshire, click on: The Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. That site is located about a mile north of the famous Cornish-Windsor covered bridge, itself a major scenic attraction in the area.

Another prestigious local museum is the American Precision Museum, which is located in the historic town of Windsor, Vermont, right across the Connecticut River from Cornish, NH. Click on The American Precision Museum. This museum received a large number of machinery and tooling items from Parrish's machine shop. Those items were donated to the American Precision Museum by Alma Gilbert when she closed the Maxfield Parrish Museum at The Oaks back in 1985. Next on the list of area attractions is the Vermont State historic site, which is the building for which the Town of Windsor derives its nickname “The Birthplace of Vermont”, please visit the Old Constitution House site and learn all about the founding of the State of Vermont.

His work can be viewed at his studio and shop, Cider Hill Gallery, in Windsor, Vermont, as well as at fine art galleries throughout New England. 

Nationally respected artist Gary Milek is known for his finely detailed egg tempera paintings depicting the Vermont countryside, rich gold leaf and egg tempera landscapes, and watercolors featuring botanically-correct flowers and herbs.
