An artist’s colony is born…
Scenic hillsides, a meandering river, stone bridges, and picturesque buildings, all characteristics that make up the landscape of Bronxville, are the same features that have attracted artists to create memorable canvases for several generations. Although most observers associate Bronxville’s artistic heritage with the well known late-nineteenth-century Lawrence Park colony, the history of the village as a place where artists lived, painted, sculpted, and found patronage originated much earlier in the 1800s.
The Bronxville Journal
Although Bronxville is small, it has a rich history. For more than two centuries notable and colorful — as well as ordinary — public citizens have left interesting legacies. The Bronxville Journal, edited by historian Marilynn Wood Hill, captures many of their stories, illuminating little-known aspects of Bronxville from the early 19th century to the present in its annual editions.
