Webster Cottage is furnished with antiques dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. A front parlor displays a desk belonging to Daniel Webster and a number of other items relating to his career as a lawyer and statesman.
Other rooms highlight different eras in Hanover’s history and several former residents including Henry Fowle Durant, who founded Wellesley College, and Alice Van Leer Carrick Skinner, who published several books recounting her life as a collector of antiques.
Webster Cottage Museum opens to visitors each spring, typically around Memorial Day. Visiting hours, which are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 2:30 until 4:30 PM, continue through the warmer months until mid-October.
The cottage is located at 32 North Main Street in Hanover, on the campus of Dartmouth College. Admission is free. Visitors may obtain a card from the museum docent which will allow them to park on Choate Road.
