Harlakenden, in the hills above the Connecticut River in Cornish, New Hampshire, was part of the Cornish Colony, a community of writers, painters, and sculptors that had gathered there since the 1880s. By 1913 the colony was at its social peak, with summer residents from New York and Boston filling the estates and holding theatricals, costume balls, and outdoor festivities. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the sculptor whose home and studio stood nearby, had died in 1907, but his circle still set the tone of the valley. Meanwhile the surrounding countryside was mostly hill farms, many of them losing workers to mills and cities downriver, so the wealthy newcomers often employed local men and women as household help, gardeners, and builders. The Cornish-Windsor covered bridge, which linked New Hampshire with Vermont across the river, carried this traffic between the two states.
