The Mansion House Art Center

Situated in one of the most beautiful city parks in America is a Georgian-style mansion house built by John Heyser in 1846. The massive house with its large, inviting wrap-around porch is built of native limestone and bricks. The bricks were, in fact, made from the mud of the graceful lake, now inhabited by swans, which the house overlooks.

Today, the mansion serves as the headquarters for the Valley Art Association. Here, at the Mansion House, one can view and purchase the works of over twenty local artists. The old Mansion House creates a beautiful setting for the art that is displayed. In addition to serving as a gallery, the Mansion House also is used for classes and a meeting place for the Valley Art Association.

The Mansion House Art Center is open year-round. The Hagerstown City Park is a lovely stroll any season of the year. Ajoining the Mansion House, as neighbors in the park, are the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts and the historic Hager House/Museum.

The City Park easy to find. It is located on Virginia Ave./Route 11 South in Hagerstown. Come, enjoy the sights. Leave with an original work of art!
