This is the story of Cherry Cottage, built in 1782 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. In 2009, the owner, Hans Morris, took on a painstaking historical restoration of the then dilapidated structure, and the house began to tell its tales. From the Native American inhabitants of New England to the 1960s counterculture, anecdotes, letters, diaries, photographs, paintings and artifacts tell how the history of Cherry Cottage is intertwined with the history of the Berkshire Mountains, and the country as a whole. (USA, 2013, 75 min., Documentary Feature)
