Renowned American author Edward Everett Hale (1822-1900) and his extended family of artists and authors summered here for almost forty years at the turn of the last century, in the heyday of the Matunuck arts colony. It was gifted to Pettaquamscutt Historical Society in 2006, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Now restored, the“Red House,” overlooking Wash Pond in the Matunuck Hills, is a center that celebrates the humanities and continues a legacy of artistic and literary enlightenment by engaging, enriching and inspiring community.
