Greenwich Historical Society presents two concurrent exhibitions that celebrate the legacy of Cos Cob as the cradle of American Impressionism. Permanent Collections Gallery: Rediscovering the Cos Cob Art Colony: A Tribute to Susan G. Larkin, features the artwork that led Dr. Larkin to become the foremost expert on American Impressionism in Connecticut as well as many other etchings, watercolors, and books by art colony authors from her personal collection. October 8–March 8: The Holley Boarding House: Inspiring American Impressionism. Josephine Holley and her daughter Constant Holley MacRae were skilled managers of the Holley boarding house which attracted artists, writers and others to their charming 18th century home on the Mianus River in Cos Cob. The picturesque setting inspired the creativity of their guests and led to the founding of the first Impressionist art colony in Connecticut.
