Step inside several historic homes on this guided bus tour of New Rochelle, once known as the Artists Colony. American icon Norman Rockwell; Frederic Remington of Western Art acclaim; the “Gibson Girl” creator Charles Dana Gibson who portrayed society’s new, independent woman—these talents and many more made New Rochelle their home en masse beginning in the early 20th century. This tour will highlight the special places connected with the Artists Colony and its playwrights, authors, performers, and visual artists, including their historic Tudor, Colonial, and Mediterranean Revival houses.
