    Didn't realize the visiting hours for the museum had already come and gone by the time I arrived…read more Was wondering why no one else was there. I only say this because the front door to the art galleries was unlocked, and I helped myself to a leisurely look at the exhibits. Honestly, I probably wasn't supposed to be there, but I didn't know any better. After all that, I very much enjoyed looking around at the art work, as well as the grounds encompassing the buildings. For my next trip, I'll hopefully get better prepared for actual visiting hours. Until then, I'll consider it as a private viewing.

    I can't say I'm a huge art fan, but Barnard's Mill, as in the property, has some pretty cool…read morehistory. Charles E. Barnard and Herman Quimby traded with the Indians between 1847 and 1855. Somewhere in there is even a story of of how Barnard traded with the Indians for a (captured) woman, who later became his wife. I highly recommend reading the Mill Museum info at the web address. The docents are super friendly and will take you through the building, which was bought by Richard Moore on the 2nd August 1979. He restored and furnished it with antiques from the Federal period to the Eastlake period (1775-1875). He established Barnard's Mill Art Museum in the old hospital addition and filled it with the art collection from the Fielder Foundation and art works of his private collection. A must see while in Glen Rose. PS. Did not make it inside on tis trip, as it's only open on weekends and we were here on a Tuesday.
