Weddings, Retreats, & Corporate Events

Located on the banks of the Lieutenant River, the Museum offers a captivating setting for your special event. Come see what drew the American Impressionist artists to paint "en plein air" along the river or in our gardens. You'll be as charmed as they were by the beauty of the landscape.

We can accommodate private parties, weddings, and corporate events for up to 150. Tours after closing hours may be included by special arrangement.

Please call Donna Carlson at 860-434-5542 x 118, she will be happy to help you plan your parties "en plein air."
