Florence Griswold Museum Grounds

The Florence Griswold Museum is the former boardinghouse where the Lyme Art Colony of American Impressionist painters gathered from 1899 onward. The 1817 Late Georgian house sits along the Lieutenant River amid gardens that inspired painters including Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf. The surrounding landscape retains the pastoral character depicted in the colony's artworks.
