"Held a corporate meeting in o e of the meeting rooms and then took in a tour of the historic house with the group afterwards. It was a huge hit. Worth stopping and checking out. Call in advance as I believe tours are scheduled."
"A 10 min walk from Cos Cob Train Station is the beautifully preserved Bush-Holly House that was built around 1730 and lived in by the Bush family from 1790-1825(New Nation period). It was then sold to Josephine and Edward Holley in 1848. From 1890 to 1920, it became the center of the Cos Cob Art Colony. We were very fortunate to have Olivia as our tour guide, and she brought the history of the Bush-Holly House alive with her enthusiasm and knowledge of the history of the house, including the astonishing story of how the house was saved from the I95 highway planners. Our 45-minute tour turned into 90 minutes, without us knowing that time had flown by. Do call in advance to check on the timing of the guided tour. The guided tour is strongly recommended. There is ample parking at the museum for those who drive."
"Entertainment was amazing. Set up was very cool! We loved it!!"
"I loved this! It was something new and I was excited to try it. The stage presentation was not only beautiful but well put together. It gave the environment a nice creepy feel to it. The actors did an amazing job getting into their characters and interacting with the guests. The drinks were delicious! I was the DD so I appreciate the fact that the bartenders accommodated the drinks for me so that I could still have the fun experience without any worry. This is definitely something I would love to do again, if the opportunity presented itself."
