The Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Museum is connecting with visitors in a safe and socially-distanced manner through its free Walk and Talk Tours.
These will be offered by trained docents on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 11 a.m. to noon, and 1 to 2 p.m., beginning Tuesday, Sept. 15. The 30-minute tour starts in front of the museum, 610 Radcliffe St., Bristol, includes a set of stairs to the river-level grounds and a ramp to exit.
The outdoor tour around the entire Grundy campus will encompass Grundy family history, house history and architecture, the Grundy Library and Bristol Borough history. New information about the Grundy family’s domestic staff and Bristol artist Joseph Pavone gleaned from research during the shutdown, as well as the museum’s restoration and renovation highlights, will acquaint guests about ongoing museum activities and plans. Local tips and information will be shared with travelers to enrich their visit to Historic Bristol Borough.
The walking tour is dependent on weather and construction allowances. More information is available on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Bookings can be made online at grundymuseum.org
