The same goes for me. The sketch was on display at the Cottage.

Yes, it's a wonderful place, and I sort of envied the tour guide on her job. The tour was quite short, I missed some things to be mentioned, or pointed out more in detail, that IMO should have. E.g. that JWB planned to abduct A. L. on the way to the S.H., that the latter partly wrote the EP there, that the Stantons used to live next door, or anecdotes taking place there, like the one of A. L. and Stanton saving some wild turkeys from a tree, as recalled by Stanton's son.

I bought this book at the souvenir shop:

I have yet only thumbed through it, but it seems a good book on the topic.
