Visited the museum this past weekend and the tour guide Anne inside Florence's house really made this experience above and beyond our expectations. She was so knowledgeable on the history and different artist and artwork. Her passion for the history exuded and made us appreciate each piece of art.

A significant historic site that has nicely captured art colonies of the early 20th century. The former artist boarding house is well preserved and was nicely decorated for the Holidays. The gallery in the back focuses on Currier and Ives lithographs. All and all its a great way to spend 3 hours or so and learn a bit of Connecticut history. I hear the seasonal restaurants overlooking the Salt marsh there is excellent and will visit again in the summer and maybe raise it to 5 stars!
