Travel Note
The Old House is located at 20 Griswold Point, however plugging 98 Griswold Point into google maps works well. For those coming from afar - thank you for making the trip! There are a few options for getting to Old Lyme. The closest airports are Bradley International (Hartford, CT) and T.F. Green Airport (Providence, RI). Both Bradley and Green are around an hour drive from Old Lyme, but are smaller and may have more expensive flights. Boston Logan Airport is an easy two hour drive from Old Lyme and often has less expensive flights. LaGuardia and JFK in New York are around a two hour drive as well, but NYC traffic can be horrendous. Although having a car is more convenient, you can also take the train from Boston or Providence, as Amtrak stops in Old Saybrook. Thank you for making the trip! We are so excited to share Old Lyme with you all.

Bonus: The Old Lyme Inn has a jazz club attached called The Side Door. We will be be providing bus service to and from the Inn for the ceremony and reception.
