Visitors will see two time periods represented in this house. Some rooms are shown as the house would have been furnished when it was first built by Samuel Morris, in the Colonial era -- 1743 to 1770. Other rooms are shown as the house was lived in by the last private owners, William and Alice Degn, from 1922 to 1953. Although the Colonial period had been over for a century, the Degns decorated with colonial objects to preserve both the objects and the house. This style of furnishing is now known as Colonial Revival. The combination of rooms allows visitors to learn the difference between the actual Colonial period and the Colonial Revival period at Hope Lodge.
