I am sadden to report that "Farmer John" Augustin, 81, of Augustine's Farm has died. Read his obituary in Greenwich Free Press. A legend and an incredibly kind gentleman farmer for generations, he will be missed. My condolences to his wife, Kathy, and all his family.

Starting October 8, 2025, this dynamic exhibition explores how entrepreneurial women enabled Holley House to become the setting for the Cos Cob art colony, the first Impressionist community in Connecticut, and among the earliest in the nation.
The Centennial celebration of the Declaration of Independence in 1876 reignited national interest in the ideals of the Revolution and ushered in new opportunities for women. This enabled the Holley House proprietors to expand upon their domestic roles and become influential businesswomen who attracted the founders of American Impressionism.
The picturesque setting on the banks of the Mianus River and familial home environment created by Josephine Holley and her daughter Constant Holley MacRae ignited the creativity of the artists who were attracted to Holley House as a respite from their New York City dwellings. Cos Cob art colony founders and frequent boarders included John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Childe Hassam and Theodore Robinson who were instrumental in shaping American Impressionism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This exhibition has been curated by Kathleen Craughwell-Varda and is the second in a three-part exhibition series that kicked off in fall 2024 to explore the impact of the American Revolution in Greenwich. The third exhibition follows in April 2026.
