Frederic Remington Art Museum

The Frederic Remington Art Museum, founded in 1923, houses eighteen bronze sculptures, hundreds of paintings and illustrations by artist Frederic Remington (1861-1909). You will also find Remington’s sketchbooks, endless pages of notes, easel, paintbrushes, sculpting stand, and photographs - even the cigars that were in his pocket before he died. The Museum is located in the historic Parish Mansion with rich quarter-sawn oak interiors. To sit in the wood paneled lobby on any quiet day in the light of Remington’s Tiffany turtle-back chandelier, one can feel part of a continuum from the earliest days of the museum.
