Frederic Remington Art Museum

The Frederic Remington Art Museum houses a large collection of paintings, sculptures, and drawings showing scenes from the American West and frontier times. The works document the people, animals, and landscapes of this region with careful attention to detail and movement.

The museum opened in 1923 in a building from 1810, originally built by David Parish for residential use. After the artist's death, his work was brought to this historic house, which had already sheltered notable residents throughout the 1800s.

The works depict cowboys, Indigenous peoples, and western landscapes, showing daily life and conflicts during this formative period of American expansion. Visitors see how different groups experienced and understood this transformative time through the artist's interpretations.

The museum offers guided tours, workshops, and educational programs for visitors of all ages. A gift shop on site sells prints, apparel, and decorative items inspired by the artist's work.

The building was constructed by David Parish, a wealthy investor who wanted to create an entire planned town in this area. That ambitious project never fully materialized, making the house a remnant of a larger vision that shaped the region's development.
