About: The Bush-Holley House is the centerpiece of Bush-Holley Historic Site on Cos Cob Harbor in Greenwich, CT. A unique presentation provides visitors with two distinct time periods –the New Nation (1790-1825) and the Cos Cob Art Colony (1890-1920). Eight evocative, well-documented rooms help tell a story of change over time at the house, as well as the stories of the house’s many occupants.
The upstairs room of the back kitchen wing of the Bush house is interpreted as living quarters for the slaves who made up roughly half of the house’s occupants in 1820. Visitors can explore this room, and other spaces, on guided tours available in the afternoon on Wednesday through Sunday. Visit the Bush-Holley Historic Site’s website for more information.
