The Josiah Sampson House is located in the seaside village of Cotuit. When this Federal-style house was built in 1793 by English businessman Josiah Sampson, it was so elegant for its day that it came to be known by the townspeople as "Sampson's Folly." Today this historic home serves as a comfortable retreat for travelers from all around the world. The Josiah Sampson House offers six spacious and comfortable guest rooms, each with private modern bath and most with a fireplace. Each room is individually decorated with antiques and period reproductions
