DESCRIPTION:In 1936\, Mary Thacher had the Winslow Crocker House&nbsp\;mo
 ved six miles  down the Old King's Highway to its present location.&nbsp
 \;Over a ten-month  period\, the house was taken apart\, beam by beam\, 
 and reassembled next  door to her ancestral home in Yarmouth Port. Miss 
 Thacher remodeled the  interior of the house to provide an&nbsp\;attract
 ive backdrop the significant  collection of antique furniture she collec
 ted over her lifetime.The  house&nbsp\;was built&nbsp\;around 1780 by Wi
 nslow Crocker\, a wealthy trader and  land speculator. Considering that 
 Cape Cod in the eighteenth century was  a region of small farms and fish
 ing ports\, the Winslow Crocker House is  surprisingly elaborate\, with 
 rich paneling in every room.Visitors  learn about Miss Thacher&rsquo\;s 
 ambitious relocating and remodeling of the  Winslow Crocker House\, incl
 uding changes she made to the paneling\,  windows\, and fireplaces. The 
 result of her efforts is a colonial Cape  Cod house with a twentieth-cen
 tury flavor.&nbsp\;Rooms are filled with Miss  Thacher's impressive coll
 ection of furniture\, which&nbsp\;represents a  thorough survey of early
  American styles\, including Jacobean\, William  and Mary\, Queen Anne\,
  and Chippendale. The furniture is accented by  colorful hooked rugs\, c
 eramics\, and pewter.&nbsp\;\nOpen Second and fourth Saturdays\, June 1
