Historic Site
Located on the historic Cos Cob Harbor, home of Connecticut's first art colony, the Historical Society's facilities include the National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House (circa 1730); the Visitor Center, housed in a former village post office (circa 1805); the Hugh and Claire Vanderbilt Education Center, set in a mid-19th century barn and artists' studio; and the William E. Finch, Jr. Archives. The historic grounds and gardens have been restored to their appearance during the Cos Cob Impressionist art colony that thrived between 1890 and 1920.
The Bush-Holley Historic Site is accredited by the American Association of Museums, and is a member of the Connecticut Art Trail.
