Yes, this is the town’s most historic home, and no, it’s not THAT Bush. I’ve already asked, as does everyone, I’d imagine. Built in stages, the Bush-Holley House by the Cos Cob harbor was, in 1728, a one-room two-story structure. In the 1890′s the home became a boarding house for artists and writers and remained the center of the Cos Cob art colony until the 1920′s.
Bush-Holley House has an active membership and year round activities, events, lectures and trips. On October 18, the House offers a “fun and safe celebration” on site for youngsters; pick and decorate a pumpkin, decorate cupcakes donated by Sweet Lisa’s Exquisite Cakes (to help celebrate the 150th birthday of American Impressionist Childe Hassam), enjoy music by Graham Clarke and spooky stories told by Jonathan Kruk. Tours, of course, will be offered – family style – of the Bush-Holley House.
The larger your family, the more “On The Cheap” this event gets; Non-members -$30 per family or $10 for adults, $8 kids
Members $20 per family, $8 adults, $6 kids
