Inside, the home showcases classic New England craftsmanship with wide-board pumpkin pine floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and original fireplaces that speak to its centuries-old story.

Rich in local history, and named for Nathaniel Cogswell, an early Atkinson resident who fathered 19 children, including his son William, who was one of the founders of Atkinson Academy.
