Art on the Lawn
Art on the Lawn began in Fall 2024 with the installation of “Fish Bones” on the Pratt House lawn.
“Fish Bones” was a creation of EHS volunteer Jim Loeffler, who helped inspire the program.
Art on the Lawn is designed to attract public attention and interest to EHS’ historic property while showcasing local and regional artists and their work — just one of many ways we strive to support our community!

“Elmer”
by Hugh MacDonald, Old Lyme
Elmer, an electropolished stainless steel centipede represents a giant in a world where food is plentiful for centipedes. This allows him to flourish and provide enjoyment in a sculptured environment. Elmer is the third and largest of a series of centipedes.
