Interactive Art Installation and Guided Walking Tours
Enjoy a unique, interactive art installation and guided walking tours around the Greenwich Historical Society campus and the National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House. Featuring a series of floating frames positioned to highlight historic elements of the landscape and vistas now dominated by the presence of the I-95, the art activation, created by Untapped New York artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views, challenging visitors to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.
Guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer.
