A Letter to Our Visitors

Dear Friend,
Welcome to the Florence Griswold Museum's website! This content-rich site, newly designed for improved navigability, offers a wealth of educational resources and vital information that will prepare you for a visit to one of the historic centers of American art.

During the early years of the 20th century, the Lyme Art Colony, centered in Miss Florence Griswold's boardinghouse, became America's most famous summer art colony. Today this museum of art and history tells the story of how Connecticut played a pivotal role in fostering an authentic American art. Located in the village of Old Lyme, Connecticut, the Museum is devoted to serving a growing audience made up of a loyal network of friends and visitors from around the world.

I cordially invite you to explore what the Museum has to offer, sample a museum exhibit, research various topics, learn about the collections, purchase a ticket for a program or a book from our shop, become a member, or just browse the wealth of content at your fingertips. Whatever you do please check back with us frequently to stay current with the Museum's activities.

As always, we welcome your comments and look forward to seeing you at the Museum!

Yours truly,

Jeffrey Andersen
Director
