Review:
Founded in 1984 by Cotuit art collector Rosemary Rapp, Cahoon Museum of American Art organizes annual changing exhibitions, artist's talks and workshops, tours, and various family activities. The beautiful Georgian building that hosts the museum is an integral part of the museum.
It was built between 1775 and 1782 by Cotuit resident Zenas Crocker. Artists Ralph and Martha Cahoon purchased the house in 1945 for a residence and studio.
Many of the rooms are used to display their paintings, furniture and antiques. The museum's collection of art includes work by Ralph Cahoon and Martha Cahoon, 19th century paintings by Ralph Blakelock and William Bradford, 20th century paintings by Margaret Patterson and Daisy Hughes and many contemporary artists.
