The Rogers' daughter, Emaline, bequeathed the property to the Alvin Museum Society in 1995. The Society restored the home and named it Marguerite Rogers House Museum, in honor of Emaline's mother.

C001

This year's garden tour was a big success. The Cottage Museum was part of the tour and the location for the plant sale. It was a beautiful day and everyone enjoyed the tour and the variety of plants and seedlings available for sale.
