Tour Connecticut's Florence Griswold Musuem and visit Old Saybrook!

Port Authority Bus Station

<p>We travel to Connecticut to visit the famed Florence Griswold Museum, which was the center of the Old Lyme Art Colony, the main center of development of American Impressionism. Henry Ward Ranger, Childe Hassam, and Willard Metcalf all spent considerable time at the Griswold house and literally left their mark on its doors with their paintings. The two-hour curator-led tour of the complex will provide us with insights into this exciting time in American art history. We then head to Old Saybrook, where tour participants will feast on a three-course meal at the waterside Saybrook Inn. The expedition concludes at an early 19th century house nearby with a short talk about what life was like in the Victorian era in this town first settled in the 1600s.</p><p>Exact location of the bus departure will be revealed after registration.</p>
