7. Bush – Holley Historic Site

This saltbox-style home, which was built in the 1730's, served as a boarding house to many renowned artists and writers who formed the first impressionist art colony in the U.S. Such talented artists as J. Alden Weir, Childe Hassam, and John Henry Twachtman are among those who once considered this place home. Today, the house is a National Historic Landmark that has been turned into a museum. American impressionist art, American fine furniture and a re-created studio of Elmer McRae are all open for visitors to view.   (© 10Best)
