History buffs celebrated the Jim Bach Special Collections with a grand opening at New Canaan Museum & Historical Society. Named after Bach, a historian and longtime resident, the new building houses a restored 1825 carriage, a print shop and the studio once used by painter Addison Millar, a founder of Silvermine Art Colony. nchistory.org
