It is a great place and my recent visit was the fairy houses. It was a very peaceful calm feeling seeing all the intricate work that goes into them. It was very enjoyable;in fact I went twice because I enjoyed the houses so much. They do a scavenger hunt which my husband and I attempted for the first time. I highly recommend going.People of all ages come to enjoy this event. It was also nice to see they had snacks and drinks available for purchase as well if you want to.
In addition to their collection on display in the house museum, there were 3 galleries with exhibitions of art focused on autumn themes and highlights from their collection with an emphasis on the connection of the history and environment of the art colony that happened at the Griswold boardinghouse. An outside show of a faerie village of 28 separate installations along a winding path was spectacular.
We had a nice time walking the grounds and the art museum parts gave a nice visual understanding of local history. And if you love cows, this place is for you. Excellent farm/cow paintings. The house was nice to visit and get a glimpse of what life was like there.
