Andres Institute of Art is a 140 acre sculpture park. Our park contains miles of wooded trails, beautiful vistas, and peaceful settings. Each year the institute hosts “Bridges and Connections”, an international sculpture symposium, that brings together artists from different cultures to create sculptures which remain on site. It is the combination of art and nature that makes a visit to Andres Institute of Art a unique and memorable occasion. The grounds at Andres Institute of Art are open to the public year round -free of charge- dawn to dusk, and we encourage you to come and enjoy the sculptures along the well-marked trails.

A visit to the museum is like a visit to your great-grandmother's house, especially the attic, and your great-grandfather's barn. At the same time, you'll learn how families earned a living in the 'good old days' - the 1800s and 1900s. You'll see how the town's economy changed from farming to the iron industry, and to tourism. You can spend two hours viewing the extensive collection in the 10-room Victorian house, the barn and the huge connecting shed.
