Cooley
Gallery
The Cooley Gallery specializes in fine American
paintings and works on paper of the 19th and
20th centuries, including the Hudso n River
School, Connecticut Impressionism, and select
contemporary realism. Set in a deceptively large
19th century building, our four diverse exhibition
galleries have been described as "a cool,
quiet oasis where tranquil, intimate, all-is-right-with-the-world
landscapes of 100 years ago are a visual and
mental balm

American Clock & Watch Museum
Step back in time with a visit to the American
Clock & Watch Museum in America's great
clockmaking town, Bristol, Conn. Hundreds of
interesting and beautiful timekeepers will remind
you of times past. Discover the finest collection
of American manufactured clocks and watches
on public display and many foreign ones. Treat
your ears as well as your eyes with their ticking,
striking and chiming. The museum and its research
library are located in the colonial style Miles
Lewis house, the historic Ebenezer Barnes wing
and the modern Edward Ingraham wing. An authentic
early American sundial garden with period flowers
and herbs adds seasonal beauty to the grounds.
