50 years after their completion, an exhibition of late-artist Woldemar Neufeld’s “Bridges Across the Housatonic” paintings will open in West Cornwall, Connecticut! Join the Housatonic Valley Association, Cornwall Conservation Trust, and Housatonic River Commission&nbsp;on July 17 at 3 p.m. for an opening reception at 7 Railroad Street, West Cornwall, CT. 
Originally created in celebration of America’s Bicentennial, this gallery will showcase original Neufeld watercolor and ink paintings, featuring bridges along the federally designated Wild &amp; Scenic stretch of the Housatonic River. Visitors will be given a glimpse into Neufeld’s thoughts and methods as he completed this ambitious project through his reference photos and sketches, and modern-day photos of the depicted locations will welcome viewers to reflect on their own history of interactions with the river at a time when preserving our natural resources and access to open spaces is more important than ever. We hope to see you there!
