Cottage country attracts those on a quest for the soothing powers of its natural landscape, the feeling of slowing down and getting away. Using vintage photos, archival film, and original shooting, we look at who cottagers are and what they do—the myths and the legends—and how cottages and “cottaging” have evolved over time.
