The Arkell Museum Overview

The Arkell Museum has two indoor spaces available for rental, plus extensive gardens and grounds. The Museum provides a perfect location for a wedding ceremony and reception.

Large, open with natural light pouring in from the museum’s high windows, this space is a unique location. Your guests will be surrounded with beautiful historic artifacts of the Mohawk River Valley. The crowning feature of the space is the one-of-a-kind floor that is a painted map of the area. During your event, your guests will love exploring other aspects of the museum. The American painting collection includes 21 works by Winslow Homer, and significant paintings by many distinguished artists. Permanent and changing exhibitions also feature selections from the museum’s Mohawk Valley History collection as well as the Beech-Nut archives of early twentieth-century advertising material.
