Reviews
"Farmers market on Wednesday--small but amazing quality of goods."
"Great museum friendly staff and beautiful gardens"
"The grounds are lovely but the fillies was didactic. Also, way too much time on the artists colony. Way too little on the colonial period. There are far better places to view Impressionism, very few better than New England to view colonial history."
"A definite destination. The museum, grounds, and gift shop are spectacular! Not to mention their events. The staff is exceptional."
"Historic house tours are Wed-Sun at 1, 2 & 3 pm. Gallery is open Wed-Sun 12-4pm."
