The four distinct walks (the river, hedgerow, woodland, and garden) encompass 0.5 miles in length and give modern day visitors an understanding of why artists were drawn to paint en plein air on the landscape. Markers designate sites of historic importance, such as the location of Childe Hassam's studio in the orchard. Funding from the Robert F. Schumann Foundation supported the project. Stephen Stimson Associates Landscape Architects of Cambridge, MA designed and implemented the Artists' Trail and it received an Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects. Chadwick Studio American Impressionist William Chadwick (1879-1962) was an artist of the Lyme Art Colony and Old Lyme resident. From about 1920 until his death in 1962, the structure now on Museum Campus served as his artist's studio. This building is open for visitors the first Saturday in April through December.
