NAKED VESSEL x LANDMARK INN
Hosted by the Landmark Inn's Artist Residency Program, the Naked Vessel team produced a private label candle that embodies the Inn’s rich history and modern accolades from Trip Advisor as one of the top 23 small hotels in the nation.
We are proud to collaborate with the Landmark Inn and its Artist Residency Program, which offers creatives the opportunity to explore and create outside of their usual environments, providing them with time to reflect, research or produce work. The program hosts artists of all disciplines as well as writers, culinary artists, musicians and more.
Take a Step Back in Time
Situated on the largest village lot drafted by William Cooper (founder of Cooperstown and father of James Fenimore Cooper, novelist) this private residence built by J.P. Sill in 1856 was known as “The Maples” for the many newly planted maple trees that lined the circular drive. Today those trees are nearing 160 years old.
They are stately and towering and tell their own stories about the days the cabriolets pulled up to the hitching post and carriage steps located on the Inn’s north side. They tell of summertime gatherings in the magnificent formal Victorian garden located on the back lawn.
And if you listen carefully, they tell of benevolence, and how each May, the Sills would host the children from the local orphanage for a day of family, food, fun, and stories.
