 In the late 19th and 20th century, the Bush-Holly House was the epicenter of Coss Cup in Greenwich, Connecticut, the cradle of American Impressionism. We're now artists gathered here to paint and share ideas about art and society. But development and the invasion of modern roadways left the Bush-Holly House isolated and deserted. In 1957, the Greenwich Historical Society saved the building from destruction and restored it as their headquarters. Through active engagement with the community and a varied approach to financial sustainability, they have brought these structures back to life and created a larger campus by acquiring adjacent properties over time. The design protects, restores and unifies historic buildings while providing programs that serve the community with exhibits, gardens, public programs, archives, collection storage and extensive school programs. The site is now a member of the Historic Artist's Homes and Studios program. Visitors can explore the area's role in Northern slavery, wander the Impressionistic Gardens, which inspired a generation of painters and take in exhibits about immigration, refugees and women's suffrage. Through the restoration of buildings and programming, the Greenwich Historical Society is providing the Greenwich community with a needed connection to its rich history. Hi, this is Peter Balkan speaking to you from my home in Greenwich, Connecticut. On behalf of the board of the Greenwich Historical Society, of which my wife Isabelle is the senior member, and on behalf of David Scott Parker, the architect who redesigned the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society, I am delighted to accept this award. When the restoration was completed in October 2019, there was a very sharp increase in the number of visitors to the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society, and the people are really very, very pleasantly surprised at the beautiful campus that now surrounds the Historical Society. It's a wonderful place to visit and we encourage everybody to come and see it for themselves. Thank you very much National Trust for Historic Preservation for recognizing this program.
