“I have learned the importance of understanding nature in creating manmade landscapes and how art involves politics, business, and economics, in addition to providing beauty and inspiration.”

More Than Just A Barn
Named for Susan Colgate Cleveland, a longtime Trustee and benefactor of the college and granddaughter of the college's first teacher, the two pre-Civil War barns attached to the Colby Homestead form the heart of this historically important building complex. Careful restoration of the barns' many charming features, combined with an innovative treatment of space in the five-level structure, earned the library national recognition for excellence in library design.
Archives is located in the wing connecting the Library to the Colby Homestead, the family home of Anthony Colby, Governor of New Hampshire (1846-1847) and contains college records, documents, artifacts and other material of significant historical interest to the college and the Cleveland, Colby, Colgate families.
