Walking Tour for Members: Founders, Patrons, and Art Makers of the Wadsworth Atheneum

Old North Cemetery, Hartford

Join former Wadsworth curator William Hosley for a walk through Hartford’s Old North and Spring Grove Cemeteries, veritable museums without walls, filled with statuary, folk art, and local history. This tour leads to the final resting places of Daniel Wadsworth and his wife, Faith, painter Frederic Church, sculptor Edward Bartholomew, and Frank B. Gay, the first director of the Wadsworth (1911–27), during whose tenure the Colt, Morgan, and Avery wings were built. Capacity is limited and registration is required.
