The Davistown Museum is a fait accompli - we've managed to put together
an interesting regional tool and history museum with no funding whatsoever
from traditional federal, state or private foundation sources. We
have received grants from the MBNA Corporation and significant donations
from the Barker Steel Co. Unlike other museums, which hang specific
shows for a period of time ranging from a few weeks to a few months, our
exhibits undergo subtle changes on a weekly or monthly basis. Individual
artists loaning contemporary artworks may choose to withdraw a loan at
any time.
We hope you enjoy the photo tour of The Davistown Museum. The photographs range in age from the beginning of the Museum in 2000 to recent acquisitions. Phil Rogers has recently rephotographed the interior of the main hall -- many of these photos are included (as noted.). They show views of the museum prior to the 2005 Art Show.
