MITCHELL MUSEUM
The original two-room museum has expanded into a 33,000-square-foot cultural center with four galleries (exhibiting works from the Mitchell’s), an interactive family center, and an acoustically sound performance hall. The Permanent Collection Gallery is a treasure trove of American art, showcasing the private collection of Eleanor and John R. Mitchell, as well as other significant works that have been added over the past 40 years.
Create, play and connect! Bring your IMAGINATION along to the Beck Family Center, located inside the Mitchell Museum. Admission is free and open to the public in this hands-on environment providing endless opportunities for young visitors to experience the textures, color, and excitement of discovering art in the world around them. Whatever the season, time in the Beck Family Center will spark imagination and fun through the many interactive components such as: The “Artist Hub” activity center where kids can create in multiple media; a giant liteworks station; the curator station that allows the visitor to become a curator and create their own exhibition; and collaborative sculpture with pool noodles! Be sure to save time to grab a book and sit underneath the tree in our story time glen!
MITCHELL HOUSE
The Mitchell’s house, built in 1936, was designed by Eleanor’s father for the couple’s 80-acre Mt. Vernon estate called Cedarhurst. The Mitchell House is used for meetings, special events, and facility rentals. It is not open to the public on a daily basis.
