Westervelt-Warner Museum of American Art

George Washington by Robert Edge Pine (1730-1788)

It has to be one of America's best kept secrets. The Westervelt-Warner Museum of American Art houses one of the world's finest collections of art from the late 1700's to the early 1900's. Yesterday, July 30, Mr. Jack Warner, former CEO of his family's company, Gulf States Paper Corporation, and one of the premier collectors of American Art in the world today, took me, my Board of Directors, and a school Headmaster -6 of us - on a 2 1/2-hour, personal tour of the museum. An unforgettable experience!

The museum is located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you are interested in the paintings of Thomas Cole, Mary Cassatt, Andrew Wyeth, John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, Paul Revere, Winslow Homer, Albert Bierstadt, and many more, take the time to visit this truly great private collection.
