Florence Griswold Museum
The Florence Griswold House became the Florence Griswold Museum, exhibiting both art and historical material. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993. In July 2007 the building reopened after a 14-month restoration project.
The museum features a collection of American art and history, including fine art, sculpture, works on paper, artist's studio material, toys and dolls, ceramics, furniture, textiles, decorative arts and historic artifacts, and the Lyme Historical Society archives.
The museum is located at 96 Lyme Street in Old Lyme, CT, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 5, Sunday from 1 to 5.
