The last mystery is a famous house, which several people recognized. Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. was first in: “This is the Olson House, a 14 room Colonial farmhouse in Cushing, Maine. The house was made famous by its depiction in Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World. The house and its occupants, Christina and Alvaro Olson, were depicted in numerous paintings and sketches by Wyeth from 1939 to 1968.The house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in June 2011. The Farnsworth Art Museum now owns the house, and it is open to the public.”
The photo came from Charles Anderson of Hartwell.
Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross, also spotted this mystery: “The Olson House may be hard to find, but once you see the place, you know you’ve landed in the right place. It was on our trip 18 years ago driving from New Jersey to Maine. It was at the Olson farm that Artist Andrew Wyeth painted Christina’s World (1948), perhaps his best known work. He became the first artist to win Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
Also identifying the mystery were Stew Ogilvie of Lawrenceville; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.; Lou Camerio of Lilburn; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
