The Arkell Museum was created by the founder of Beech-Nut Packing Company Bartlett Arkell. He collected works by some of the premier American artists of the late 19th and early 20th century. Unfortunately, many of them were not on display when we visited. I certainly would have loved to see the Mary Cassatt!!
What we did get to see were two exhibitions that were set up to celebrate the anniversaries of the Women’s Rights movement and the Erie Canal. In spite of our disappointment at not getting to see more paintings from their collection, we did enjoy our visit here. I did like having a face to put on some of the women who worked so hard to get the vote for women.
Given our experience, I would suggest checking their website to see what actually will be on display when you plan to visit.
They don't allow you to use photos of their collections, you need permssion and I believe they charge.
