Beautiful, serene setting. House is very interesting, museum is well set up, and the grounds are so peaceful. My high school hosted an alumni event there - we were given time to visit the museum before having a house tour. We then had a private lunch on the grounds. A great place to host a small event.

Florence Griswold, the namesake of the museum ran a boardinghouse for painters during the Impressionist era of painting. Painters were charged $1 a day for food and lodgeing. The lodgers painted scenes on the bedroom door panels, above fireplaces and on the dining room walls. You can view the house, furnished rooms and painted walls/doors. There are also examples of paintings done at the house on display in the gallery. Insertion, a separate building gold holds a rotating art display. On our visit framed letters of the painters. Not very appealing to us. We did enjoy the small garden and Florence's house.

I thought the place was very cool, but I'll be honest, my biggest memory is of the guide i affectionately named the Drunken Docent because well, it was 10am and she had clearly enjoyed a liquid breakfast. Sad that is my biggest memory, but it is what it is.
