May 6th is Free Day Florence Griswold Museum Open Free to Public Old Lyme, CT – On Saturday, May 6 from 10am to 5pm, the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme opens free to everyone for this third annual community day. It is the only day each year the Museum is open without charge to celebrate spring and showcase its summer offerings to the public. It is a great time to gather family and friends for a day of exciting programs, exceptional art, and beautiful views. Visitors of all ages will enjoy exploring exhibitions, wandering through historic gardens, playing gallery games, making art, visiting an artist's studio, or just strolling along the Lieutenant River. Last year, the Museum's May free day drew a record number of visitors who enjoyed a relaxing day at one of the area's top cultural attractions. "Our annual free day has become a very popular event," stated David D.J. Rau, director education and outreach. "Many of the people are first-time visitors. The variety of fun and educational activities are a wonderful introduction to all we have to offer." A historic center for American art, the Florence Griswold Museum encompasses eleven acres along the Lieutenant River in Old Lyme. The Museum is open year round Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 1pm to 5pm. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, $4 for 6-12. Visitors under 6 are free.
