Incredible shows in the gallery featuring local, regional, and national artists. Studio space for working artists. An array of affordable local arts and crafts in the gift shop. And fun events throughout the year, plus the newly opened Ora Anderson trail on the property. Theres so much to love!

Beautiful place. Really cool facility with a great selection of art. This is a favorite spot among the locals. Unfortunately, not all staff is friendly or approachable. I would have given five stars if I was greeted by workers in a kinder and friendlier manner

Even as a Midwesterner, Ive never really understood the Midwests obsession with turning barns into museums and venues, but this is a pretty nice one. My friends got married here and it worked well for having both a ceremony and reception.
