Arkell Museum

Often overlooked, but so worth the visit. We stopped by on our bike trip. Friendly, clean and informative. World class artwork to see.

Neat little museum in Canajoharie. Prominently featured are paintings by Winslow Homer. A copy of Gilbert Stuart's George Washington is also in the museum. Several works depicting the Mohawk Valley region are are also presented.
The museum also does a nice job with the history of the Beech-Nut factory. Featured are ads displayed from the 1920's and 1930's. Along, with the history of Beech-Nut the story of the Arkell family is provided. Also, photographs and stories about working in the factory.
The museum does a good job presenting information for each painting as well. Rotating galleries are also a part of the museum. The exhibit on "granges" in New York State was interesting.
Museum is fairly priced and staff is helpful.

We really enjoyed spending part of an afternoon taking in the artwork and the local history of the region. The museum and library are beautiful. I would highly recommend!

Small but beautiful displayed history of Beech-nut foods. Tin boxes that were Christmas gift boxes especially interesting. Original American Portrait style paintings & landscapes presented very nicely.

Great little art museum in Canajoharie NY.Have some wonderful paintings by some of the great masters.Impressive collection. Nice town too.
