It's about art and history with some disturbing facts about the slaves who lived there. It was very informative.

“Worth Visiting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

A fascinating bit of preserved revolutionary war era Greenwich. It's location just underneath I-95 is an unfortunate reminder of the destruction wrought upon the environment by our progress.

“Very Interesting place!"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2012

If you are in the Cos Cob/Greenwich, CT area, plan to visit this historical place. I went because a friend was part of a tal about slavery in the area. I was amazed to know that this area has a historical site where slaves lived! With that in mind, the area intrigues me as I'm sure it will others.
