The art world and Minisink

MILFORD, PA — The Minisink/Pocono region has captured the eye and canvas of many artists. James Pinchot, who built Grey Towers in Milford as his family’s summer home in 1886, was one of the first Americans to recognize a connection between art and natural resource conservation. He was an early supporter of the Hudson River School.

Artist Marie Liu will present “The History of Art in the Minisink/Pocono Region and the Pinchot Connection” on Saturday, March 12 at 11:30 a.m., at the Pike County Public Library, 119 East Harford St. in Milford. The snow date is Saturday, March 19.

Space is limited; reservations can be made at https://greytowers.org/events.
