Florence Griswold Museum, Art museum and historic boardinghouse in Old Lyme, United States.
The Florence Griswold Museum spans 12 acres along the Lieutenant River, featuring a restored 1817 house, art galleries, and gardens with walking trails.
The site gained prominence between 1899 and 1930s when over 135 American artists resided at Miss Florence's boarding house, establishing the Lyme Art Colony.
The house displays 43 painted panels on doors and walls created by artists who stayed at the residence during the peak of American Impressionism.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 AM to 4 PM during winter months and until 5 PM from April through December.
The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company contributed 190 artworks to the museum's collection in 2001, enhancing its American art representation.
