Frederic Remington Art Museum
The Frederic Remington Art Museum, located at 303 Washington Street in Ogdensburg, New York, houses a comprehensive collection of original Remington paintings, sketches and sculptures, as well as a broad array of personal effects and correspondence that serve to bring the artist and his vision to life.
Many of Remington's best-known sculptures and oil paintings can be found in the Albert Priest Newell Gallery. Changing exhibits of his North Country and Canadian watercolors, sketches, and illustrations hang in the Addie Priest Newell Gallery. Personal possessions, studio equipment, and memorabilia are displayed throughout the museum.
The main building of the Frederic Remington Art Museum was built in 1810 by David Parish, an early developer of large tracts of land in St. Lawrence County and a prominent player in the shipping and lumber industry. He resided in the home until 1816 when he returned to Europe. Other Parish family members followed and occupied the property into the 1860s.
After Frederic Remington's death in 1909, this home became the residence of his wife, Eva. This was made possible through the generosity of Ogdensburg industrialist, George Hall, and the Remington's friend, John Howard. Eva lived here with her sister, Emma, from 1915 to 1918. The Museum was founded as the Remington Art Memorial in 1923. The original collection, which was derived from the estates of Eva and Emma, included Frederic's sculptures, oil paintings, family possessions, personal art collection and studio contents.

The #Fredericremington Art Museum recently received a grant for five sit/stand desks. This equipment was received from the Health Initiative's Creating Healthy Schools and Communities Project, which is funded by the New York State Department of Health. The museum partnered with the Health Initiative to develop Healthy Worksite Action Plans. These largely involved offering healthy food choices in any public or private meetings or events involving refreshments. The new desk adaptions are very welcome. At least one staff member has been asking for a sit/stand desk for years. "The Health Initiative was a joy to work with, and we probably would have never have made this investment on our own. We're very glad to benefit from this community partnership, especially if it's like they say -- sitting is the new smoking." #nysdepartmentofhealth #healthinitiative #creatinghealthyschoolsandcommunities
