Greenwich Historical Society Offers June 28 Guided Walking Tours

Greenwich Historical Society invites the public to experience Re-Framing 95, an interactive art installation and exhibition in collaboration with Untapped New York, that explores the impact of Interstate 95 on the historic Cos Cob waterfront, National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House, and overall Greenwich community. The public is invited to experience Re-Framing 95 and join a Guided Walking Tour, presented by Justin Rivers, chief experience officer with Untapped New York, on Saturday, June 28. Added by popular demand, four tours are offered at 12 p.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tours are free for Historical Society members and $15 for non-members and reservations can be made at greenwichhistory.org.

The interactive art installation and exhibition of Re-Framing 95 was created in collaboration with Untapped New York and artist Aaron Asis, and features floating large-scale gold frames positioned around the Historical Society’s campus and the Bush-Holley House. Each frame spotlights a view reshaped by I-95, encouraging visitors to reflect on how infrastructure intersects with history and community.

“The response to our opening-weekend walking tours back in April was tremendous,” noted Debra Mecky, executive director and CEO of Greenwich Historical Society. “We are thrilled to be able to offer them again with our exhibition partner Untapped New York before the exhibition closes at the end of June. The walking tours provide the story and history of how I-95 impacted the area and is a powerful way to connect with the stories and landscapes that have shaped Greenwich.”

Inside the Historical Society’s Permanent Collections Gallery, an exhibition pairs historic Impressionist artworks from the Cos Cob art colony with contemporary companion pieces by Aaron Asis, imagining the same scenes as they might appear today — with the highway in view.

Re-Framing 95 runs through June 30 at the Greenwich Historical Society’s campus at 47 Strickland Road in Cos Cob. For more information, tickets and contest details, visit greenwichhistory.org.
