The room is furnished as an early American bedroom, with a four-poster bed, dresser, rocking chair, patterned wallpaper, and lace curtains. It was part of the Hotel Northampton and Wiggins Old Tavern, a Northampton landmark that presented period interiors to guests and visitors. Such rooms gave early 20th-century travelers a look at domestic life from an earlier era, when colonial revival taste made old furnishings and wallpapers popular in hotels and inns.
