Old Lyme

Tucked along the Connecticut River’s eastern bank, close to its outlet into Long Island Sound, Old Lyme is a town whose character is shaped by tidal waters, salt marshes and the broad estuary. Its riverfront setting has long connected the community with the coastal life of southeastern Connecticut, while local roads pass wooded residential areas and historic village streets. Around 1900, Old Lyme became an important centre of American Impressionism; the Florence Griswold Museum preserves the house and grounds associated with the Lyme Art Colony. Its galleries link art history directly to the town’s river-country setting. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Old Lyme and Connecticut’s shoreline.
